You don't have to get really into it but I mean what is your system for backing everything up? I have another drive and I also copy it onto flash drives. Pictures, Movies, Music, Text Documents, Invoices, PDF's, etc. I was just organizing some of it tonight and it's tough. I can't find some pictures that I thought I had since I have 10,000 flash drives. I back everything up and I have doubles on my main drive and it's hard to go through all that and find doubles. Another thing I wanted to know is how do you do an "Advanced Search" for the whole Overclock.net forum?

Here is how my system is setup in tree form (Not Exactly same names etc)

{Key}
> = Folder
>> = Sub Folder of the Folder above it


F:\
Folder Of Everything
>Pictures
>>Cool Pictures
>>Personal Pictures
>>Funny Pictures
>>Other Pictures
>Movies
>>Individually Named Movie Folders
>Music
>>(Individually Organized - I wish there was a program to do this with proper grammar in the file name and everything.)
>Software Tools
>>Iso's
>>Software Tools
>E-Books



That is just a generalization, I am curious how everyone else copes with so much information..

I use the default windows organization system (libraries etc) and manually organize and rename/edit properties of files by hand every couple months.
I tend to rotate what type of media I organize when as doing all of it at once would suck so at one time I'll do movies/videos than another organize my music and the way all my media will fit on my zune (usually accompanied by a complete format of the zune) etc.

I think an external drive is worth investing in. Mine has backups of all my pics, documents, movies, and music. I also keep DVD backups of pics, which is the only thing I'd really miss if something happened (well that and some DOCs from school).

I have to be very descriptive like my pictures is (Me, Me + Others, Others). I just wish there was a program to help out my music since there is so much. Most of it is organized at least in folders with Capitalized Names and such but a lot of it isn't either.

LiNERROR

everything arranged by type of content... so i have a boot/os/programs partition, swap, and then storage... on my the storage drive multiple directories break it all down... ie i have an audio, video, document, iso, program, desktop, complete, incomplete... etc i have 7tb on this machine -- music for example is broken down into albums, soundtracks, various, classical, audiobook... albums is broken down to artist, followed by albums with a yyyy - album title format... with tracks being track number - song title...

flash drives and things like SD cards i have batch file to sync without replace to predetermined directories... ie my 32GB work thumbdrive syncs when i plug it in to \document\storage media\work flash drive.... the same with my 4gb sd card in my camera... \document\storage media\digital camera

important directories from my boot/os/programs drive, like appdata, etc... are mirrored to my storage drive every 24 hours... which itself it is mirrored to my file server 21tb ever 24 hours -- with my documents folder being mirrored every 2 hours... have a bunch of stuff there that's already backed up to DL-DVDs and never changes... this is mostly media, things like movies and music that i have real disks for in storage but keep online for two mythTV frontends...

then i have an external enclosure with 16 750gbs on 2 8 port sata controllers with a software raid5 stripe 11.2tb that powers on once a week and mirrors everything but the stuff that never changes on my file server... and then shuts down if the backup was successful...

i once had 4 60gb deathstars fail on me within a week of each other... as you can tell i HATE losing my data...

Much of what looks like rudeness is not intended to give offense. Rather, it's the product of the direct, cut-through-the-bull**** communications style that is natural to people who are more concerned about solving problems than making others feel warm and fuzzy. Would you like to know more?
