When it comes to the work that my machines have done when I'm caching Ièm paranoid about getting credit for each work unit that I do.
How paranoid and what steps do you go to to keep all your data safe from either Hard Drive problems on your end to problems with the client etc ...
I have a my Server machine (Win2K Server) run a Scheduled Task once a day at 2am and backs up every network machine (All directories for DF are shared as well as the other DC Projects) to it`s C:\ director, then at 3am (when I'm pretty sure that even if it ran into a hiccup somewhere it'd be done by then) then on the CD-RW Drive on that machine there is a Disc (Re-Writeable) that the data gets written to (After the previous nights gets erased).
That way if something does happen I'm losing at most 24 hours worth of data instead of possibly a weeks worth or more (Or in the case when I was doing Genome at one time a few months worth! :scared:
