Timely Back Up Warning!

Last weekends power cut was a nasty one, it looks like there was also a power surge in there which caused a lot of machines to panic and go into recovery. Those were the lucky ones, the surge also killed some hard disks. If you’ve got any PC’s running experiments and would like me to take a snapshot of the hard disk then let me know.

In the even the PC dies we can quickly get the experiment back up and running if we have a back up to restore from. Otherwise it’s a lengthy rebuild preocess trying to piece together the software, driver etc
