Crap on a stick.
Grumpy

About this time last year, my primary hard drive experienced a catastrophic failure. Now my secondary drive — the one with all my audio recordings on it — is making ugly clunking sounds whenever it's accessed. This does not bode well.

Fortunately, I've been backing up my entire system to an external hard drive, though not as often as I should — I think the last time I did one was a couple of weeks ago. As luck would have it, though, I was imaging a server before I left work this evening, and forgot to take the Ghost floppies out of my shirt pocket. I don't know if it'll get all the way through taking the image, though... the longer it goes, the more frequent the drive noises are... and the higher the "time remaining" field climbs.

I can live with losing two weeks' worth of stuff. At least the Consort and Falcon files are safe.
