Day Forty Four


I am the king of all backups. I worked on 'Budgens' today. Turns out large drives aren't visible through the SATA controller straight off to Windows. You have to assign them to an array first, then Windows can see them. So, Budgens has 3TB of storage for Media Studies and, soon to be set up, Music. Aldi is working perfectly, and should backup tomorrow at 6am to a NAS box. Woop.

The Other Tech checked the staff backup server today and it turns out it choked on it's backup days ago and hung. With all the work to set up the new backup system and Censornet, I didn't notice. Bad. That should be working again now, but I intend to ditch that this year and go with the same sort of system as Aldi.

Worked on a very broken XP install, and looked at Cubase on Mac OS X (for music) - seems to work fine. Busy busy busy.
