Two days ago I've lost all my Personal Data on my Second HDD,
Personal Data like Photos, Images, Audio Stuff, Source Code,
Mails: everything gone...!
I had some Backups fortuneatly but most stuff is lost forever.
Well, now I'm Ready to start my Personal Data Organization from
the begining, I've a Debian SCSI Workstation with 2 x 8GB SCSI
Drives, "sda" and "sdb".
Until now my Data Organization was like this:
HD0
-----------------------------------------------------------------
/dev/sda1 = / (Debian root paritition) 7900 MB
/dev/sda2 = swap (swap paritition) 100 MB
-----------------------------------------------------------------
HD1
-----------------------------------------------------------------
/dev/sdb1 = /mnt/d (Personal Data) 8000 MB
-----------------------------------------------------------------
My user home directory is in "/home/eim" on sda1 but most
of my Real Important Files are in "/mnt/d" which is sdb1.
So I've lost sdb1 and all my important data, but fortunately
my home dir is still there !
My question is, has somebody any suggestions on how to
organize personal data, maybe some Real Life examples in
order to share opinions on a Secure and Safe Data Organization.
I'm of course talking about a Work Station and not a Server for
many different users.
If anyone has some examples or suggestions I'm ready to
share any ideas...
Thanks for any help,
Have a good time...

I use a nifty program called mirrordir at home, i have thousands of
MP3's DIVX movies, programs documents 40Gig worth. I run mirror dir at
midnight every night and it keeps a mirror of the working drive. The
great thing is it only copies new stuff and is very efficient, also if a
file gets deleted accidentally it is not lost and can be retrieved if it
is done before midnight. Disk mirroring is good but i like the delay
factor using mirrordir.
Something to think about anyway !
