Another test of my backup strategy

It happened again! I had a hard drive crash. This time, the drive was a Seagate 1 TB drive about 60% full.

So what was my backup strategy and did it work?

I have three basic methods of backing up:

1. Time Machine - I use time machine to manage the backups of my laptop.
2. Backup to DVD - This method I was hoping to end. It's time consuming and hard to use with large groups of files. However, this has been relatively reliable.
3. Drive "mirroring" - Using tools such as rsync to maintain a second copy of a hard drive.

My big fear is losing all my data in some sort of system crash. Well, I just had a system crash last week (bad hard drive). As it turned out, it was marginally painful. My backup system was designed for managing my data. Fortunately, my data were on the drive that survived. The dead drive housed the system OS.

After some false starts, I managed to find an old copy of the system and restored it onto a new disk. Within a few hours, the system was back up to normal, more or less.
