Making Backups

You'd think that after my Palm went back to day 0, I'd be more paranoid about backups and such.

Well I learned yet another valuable lesson in this area. It turns out that if your PC hard drive has any errors or the drive you are backing up to has any, Symantec Ghost will happilly make your backup corrupt as well.

It's even a known fact on their website. Once you make a backup, you should test it to make sure it's okay. Otherwise when you try to use it later, you're screwed.

So be careful out there!
