For some unknown reason my Ipod has reflashed itself ( some techies at works terminology) meaning ive lost everything apart from the last 4 DJ mixes i downloaded on Saturday. I have two years of music on this. Or had.
And the reason this transpired at work is due to attempting to put some music on as our dialler system has an outage with resolve time - ?unknown?
Means i have 100 staff sitting about not doing anything...
Grrrrrrrr >:(

Precisely why I refuse to have an Ipod - the DRM implementation means that the slightest glitch on Apple's servers equals Game Over.
Hence I stick to standard MP3/WMA players, and keep my collections on a hard disk...
-
I dont know much about technology but, one thing I always remember being told is...Back up everything!
-
When a device is reflashed then one of two things happen. If the device has separate memory area for user's data, then no data loss should occur. If the device has no such memory area, then you should end up with a fresh install of the OS and the device in just-out-of-the-box mode with no user's data at all.
So the fact that you still had 4 tunes on the unit suggests that something else happened...?

One of my responsibilities at work is the backup of our servers, someone once said to me priority for backups is:-
1) All Directors and Managers data
2) Anything to do with incoming money
3) Anything you can use later on (True BOFH style - those in the know will know who I mean)
4) User data
Still enters my head when we have a backup failure on one of the robotic libraries. ;D

LOL - I remember one of our bigger libraries (70 odd LTO2 drives, thousands of tapes) started smoking one day.... ....talking about panic to get the tapes out before it burned (fortunately it didn't catch fire).

Still have Hundreds of backups from my music in the cupboard..........................................................
There called RECORDS ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Going back a long time ago I used to be an onsite engineer for a variety of kit. One of my favourites was those big Memorex reel to reel tape drives that had the glass doors and used a vacuum to suck the tape onto the take up spool.
When the clutches were worn (they did at 6250 Rpm) the tape would stay stationary and the clutch would spin... they'd be a horrendous smell of burning rubber!
God that's a long time ago!
Sorry to bore you!
I'll get my coat!

Have you still got your 'Stereogram' to play them on then? ;)
Oops, I feel another attack of nostalgia coming on. :)

Anyone mentioned nostalgia? ::)

Well I use removable media and I haven't lost any data apart from breaking one MD accidentally.
And it is easy to get records on!

Without going into technical details, those of you who may remember my post with regards to what I carry in the boot (to recap fire extinguisher, hi-viz jacket, several torches, first aid kit, spare bulb kit, jump leads, tools, cable ties, portable tyre pump, etc etc etc), can imagine my approach to data backup. No, I havn't lost a single file in the past 10 years... and yes, my simcard and contacts are also backup up. Regularly I may add... ;D

I had a reasonable backup solution to files, though getting dated.
I now have an excellent one :y

I'm pretty sure that mine was 'Sugar Sugar' by The Archies. I seem to remember pestering my mum to buy it for me from Woolworths in Didcot. :)
