Back Ups of Back Ups

Our systems barely work even without people pulling cables randomly. But Navy Reservists do that, too.

Total of emails now ā€œfoundā€ is over 16,000.

If they were gone forever, then how were they found? If they were found, why did it take two years to produce them?

And if they were just found, how did they go through them so fast?

Oh Look! They did find them. And yet, they were gone becauseā€¦ science!

But still the behavior that they actually confessed to isnā€™t mentioned anywhere in them. Or at least not that Iā€™ve seen. So how exactly was this coordinated except through some sort of darknet or something?

Too bad they didnā€™t find the missing EPA ones, some other IRS ones I know people are looking for and the justice department emails. And you know, Hillaryā€™s personal server.

Can you imagine the reaction of the IT department being told the new secretary of state wants to run her own email server. You think itā€™s bad hooking up Bobā€™s iPad to the secure network.

I suppose weā€™re lucky she didnā€™t give the Marshall islands up in response to a 419 email.

I just realized my external drive has been trying to back up itā€™s files to itself for the past three days. Iā€™m trying to not wonder how many recursions happened, for my own sanity.

Yeah, I am really loving this software that Toshiba bundled with this thing. Not.

On the topic of backupsā€¦

Dropbox is not a backup. Itā€™s a second copy, but itā€™s not a backup. When a file is deleted, itā€™s deleted everywhere, and immediately.

I learned this the hard way a few weeks ago when a slide deck I was working on was reduced to 0 bytes when my Mac KPā€™d on me with PowerPoint open.

Thanks to Dropboxā€™s ā€œversionsā€ feature, I was able to get back the previous revision. But had I not discovered the loss within 30 days, it would have been gone.

My Dropbox folder is now backed up by CrashPlan too.

I had to stop using Google Drive due to a slight issue. I had it on both my Android (one reason I wanted it in the first place) and my laptop. But somehow, Drive reads the fact that the files are not physically on my Android, and tries to delete them from my laptop.
