Techno-geek-speak

This is an entry for all the people out there that love geeky-computer stuff...like me. :)

Having a computer background has been an amazing advantage in my job, and I take my file storage VERY seriously.  My wedding camera writes to two memory cards at once (which is very necessary in my field), and when I get home I have a workflow that sends my files to places all over (hard drive, external drive, DVD's and off-site).  Well tonight my great friend Jesse came over and we made some major changes to add some BETTER back-ups to my process.  Meet DROBO -- isn't he cute?

 

I will have FOUR TERABYTES...yeah a lot...of storage on there.  If a drive fails, it lets me know and automatically uses one of the drives to replace the broken one.  It is a little Robot!  And I am changing my off-site storage as well, to a host that automatically updates selected portions of my drives as I add to them.  SO COOL! 
Anyone else as geeked out as me?  Hello?  Anybody there???  Oh ok...

Tomorrow I have two more shoots, and then I am off to Seneca, KS on Saturday for a wedding!

hey there! I have had my Drobo for about 2 months and LOVE it - I have it set up in conjuction with my time machine, and everything is backed up pronto. 4 terabytes - got to love it.

Let me know how it goes... I love my little Memeo... but I'm always open to new ideas!

drool... i need to get a second external just to back up my first because it occasionally makes weird noises - noises that stop when I smack it. Yeah, not good. Hang tight mp3 library - you'll be backed up soon!

I love your new toy. Four terrabytes? I don't even wanna know what that set you back!
