Sorry about the other day; that was hardly fair. But what can I do? When she wants to talk, we talk. I mean, if she were here now, I wouldn’t even be allowed to be on the computer.

Ok, that’s enough of that. We’re no longer talking about the last post. Moving on… How about another fascinating post on my back up program that is ridiculously anal in scope? Excellent!

I paid for SuperDuper!. I had been using the free version before but that meant I was doing a full backup each time. Figure on over two hours for that.

Now with the paid version I can do an incremental backup, which averages about 15 minutes depending on several factors such as how much pr0n Biff might have sent me. I’m also eying up a 300GB SATA drive and enclosure in preparation for Leopard and Time Machine. One can never be too safe nor have too many geek toys littering ones apartment.

The way I see it, my futures involves purchasing sweaters and sensible shoes much more than geeky toys, so I need to get my ducks in a row before she gets here. I’m of the opinion that a case can be made for needing terabytes of redundant storage enclosed in shiny cases with buttons and blinking lights. Multiple routers, protected network segments and yes, a server which backs up the back ups… “Dammit, I’m trying to preserve our memories here…”

Sorry about that. I didn’t mean to go off like that. Maybe I should go for a walk or something. I wonder how late Macstation is open…
