I can't register for the forum because the graphic "enter the numbers and letters" to register is a blur.

-you're right; this really is badly blurred!

-however, when I click "tell me about Google Translate" it will open http://www.srware.net/forum/  ??? I wanted to disable the translation service because it is annoying to me, but now I need to use it in order to understand the German forum, so I can learn how to disable it!

Iron 4 is really quite new and is merely at version 4.0.280. So, are the changes going to be huge, or why is it version 5, instead of 4.1 or 4.5 or something alike?

at least, your sweet-talks are making me reconsider ;-)

My two fixed harddrives are 500 GB each. Any new drives ≥ (500+15%=)575 GB?

--- you can set up a RAID 1 array for not much expense.

-sounds interesting. However, I don't *need* a server (but may of course buy one all the same! haha), so if I am to think of it as solely a backup unit, I would say it is too fragile for the purpose. I might be paranoid, but I found this mini review of D-Link DNS-323:

This drive is labeled as a backup drive or basically as a simple file server. All in all, it works well, until the unit fails. I used this as a file server running RAID 1 so that I had two copies of all of my files in case a drive failed. Only when the box failed and D-Link sent me a warranty replacement, did I learn there was no way to set up the new box without reformatting the drive and wiping out all of the data. After hours (and a lot of intense discussion with people on the other side of the Earth), we found a way to access the Linux file formatted drive on a Windows box and copy the files. If I had run this box in RAID 0 (which you would only do as a file server, not a backup drive), all of my data would have been lost. Be very careful when using this drive. Your data is not as safe as D-Link would like you to think.

a backup of the backup

That is not quite the type of person that I am. I already have spent all of my money on software that I don't really need. Why would I suddenly become reasonable and get something that I actually might need?

Sorry; false alarm!

I closed Windows, unplugged and re-plugged the cables, booted again, and the problem was gone.

I see that was what mouser suggested while I was off-line. Thanks!  :up:

General Software Discussion / an entire drive suddenly missing!
« Last post by Curt on May 06, 2010, 08:06 AM »
What do you do when Windows suddenly tells you that it has discovered a new USB device (my "G-drive"), but it will need to search for a new driver, and the USB drive isn't formatted, "would you like to format now?"? I KNOW this is not "a new device", and i KNOW it IS formatted, because we are talking about my backup drive that I have been using for maybe two years! Windows asked me to navigate to any driver suitable, but 'we' couldn't find the proper one. Somewhere I may still have the installation-CD for this USB hard drive, but I am not sure - haven't found it yet. Am I in a great risk of loosing my backups? I am really worried about this "not formatted" thing.

General Software Discussion / Re: Clipboard Managing-Which one?
« Last post by Curt on May 06, 2010, 04:48 AM »
The answer to your difficult question may be that this is depending more on the user than on the clipboard. As an example, I have Snagit 9 installed, and it may be the most advanced clipboard you can have, but... I don't use it! It is not to my liking. There may very well not be any "The Best Clipboard" unless you specify your needs very precisely.

... which soft do you recommend and how to adjust filters?

1) which soft do you recommend? = none.
Once in a while, but rarely, I will run some cleaner...:

2) how to adjust filters? = cautious & safe.
There is very little reason to remove a few extra bytes, because of the increased risk.
