It all grinds to a halt

What a great way to start a new year! The main drive in my honking big Mac at the studio has gone kaput. You can’t believe how annoying that is, well, I suspect you can, actually. I will now have to endure 2 or 3 days of mild frustration (at best) while the tech people replace the disk and move the existing content over from the old disk or two weeks of complete torture while I rebuild the contents of the disk from 2 month old back ups.

I back up my working files every day and I have 2 copies of those. But the main disk which contains all the software and stuff I have been remarkably lax with when it comes to backups. Oh what a fool I have been! Let’s hope I recall the discomfort of the next few days clearly for an awfully long time to ensure that I also back up my main disk at about the same frequency as I back up my working files.
