Well folks it seems that I have suffered a huge data loss in the last couple of weeks. The PC failed and the recovery attempts on most of the Stranglers data (audio/images/video) is unrecoverable. I can recover some of it obviously via downloads from the site but there was a lot of other stuff on my drive. As you will no doubt appreciate this is the worst scenario for a audio collectors, so any assistance to regain material in FLAC format would be highly appreciated!
that is horrible. I have my stuff on some servers with some redundancy built into the drive array but never had to try to see whether that worked or not. Once a year, I usually back the servers up to external hard drives. Periodically, I put some stuff on external drives and give to friends to keep for a Plan C to at least salvage some stuff if I lose both my backups. I know I have a bunch of stuff from you but have no idea how to get it to you.
ReplyDeleteHi Adrian,you have my email, anything I can do to help ,please let me know.
ReplyDeleteOh fuck! Are you sure the hard drive has failed...? I mean it does sound like that, but have you removed it and tried connecting it to another pc?
ReplyDeleteI've got gigs of gigs in lossless... one thing is you could send me an external HDD and i could copy my collection...
