04:51 🔗 freedom has joined #archiveteam-ot
04:52 🔗 freedom hello?
04:52 🔗 freedom Anybody here?
04:53 🔗 freedom I just have 1 question
04:53 🔗 freedom About archiving files...
04:54 🔗 fenn don't ask to ask, just ask
04:54 🔗 freedom has left
04:57 🔗 freedom_ has joined #archiveteam-ot
04:57 🔗 freedom_ ok i am back.
04:57 🔗 fenn it may take a few hours for the right person to see your question and respond
04:58 🔗 freedom_ So i have 1 TB exernal hard drive and i read online that it can fail at any time so i am thinking of buying a bigger exernal hard drive, so if i get for example a new hard drive i should back up all the files from the 1 TB hard drive to the 4TB hard drive?
04:58 🔗 freedom_ I start archiving old tv show last few days so i may buy more storage soon...
04:59 🔗 freedom_ and anything else i find usefull for safekeeping*
05:00 🔗 fenn there is a method called RAID to combine say 5 hard drives such that if you lose any one of them you can recover all the data
05:00 🔗 freedom_ I read about RAID but i don't wanna use that for now
05:00 🔗 fenn it can be complicated, so if you only have a few TB the best way to do it is just copy the data to another disk
05:01 🔗 freedom_ ok so my question is i have to keep backing up all files from the small hard drive to the bigger one every time?
05:01 🔗 fenn yes
05:01 🔗 fenn hard drives won't lost forever, and also DVDs and blu-rays and flash drives will stop working after some number of years
05:01 🔗 fenn won't last forever*
05:01 🔗 freedom_ yeah that what scare me
05:02 🔗 freedom_ 1 more thing.
05:02 🔗 freedom_ i put some small files on rar archive with protection 3% there safe or i should worry i may lose them?
05:03 🔗 freedom_ I was on reddit datahoarder searching for answer from yersteday but i feel better talking to a person...
05:03 🔗 fenn you just want to combine small files into one big file that's the same total size?
05:04 🔗 freedom_ No
05:04 🔗 freedom_ i mean rar files live forever?
05:05 🔗 freedom_ set the recovery record size to 3 percent of the archive file. that what the protection is on winrar that will protect it from losing my files?
05:05 🔗 fenn 1 bit of corruption in a compressed file can cause many bits of corruption in the uncompressed data, or it may be impossible to uncompress them
05:05 🔗 freedom_ How they corrupt?
05:05 🔗 fenn in my opinion you're better off using something like .tar to combine the files, and not worrying about the extra 3% of space being used up
05:06 🔗 freedom_ .tar?
05:06 🔗 mal to be clear: raid is NOT A BACKUP, only a method of reducing the chances that a disk dying causes data loss.
05:06 🔗 mal fenn: I think they're asking about using some kind of ECC in rar
05:07 🔗 fenn i don't know what you mean by "protection" for rar. it sounds like redundancy but the only thing i see about protection is password protection
05:07 🔗 fenn you can make a par2 file to provide redundancy/error correction for .rar files
05:10 🔗 fenn ok it's called a "recovery record" and uses reed-solomon coding
05:10 🔗 freedom_ has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 263 seconds)
05:10 🔗 mal pfft
05:11 🔗 mal anyway
05:11 🔗 fenn does that mean he closed the page?
05:11 🔗 mal *shrug*
05:11 🔗 mal changes are much better that the whole drive goes at once, so
05:11 🔗 mal (at least in my experience)
05:24 🔗 Flashfire No it means his internet is terrible
05:24 🔗 Flashfire the ping timed out
05:40 🔗 mal idk what'd happen if you quit your browser or something else that didn't give the js a chance to send a quit
05:41 🔗 Flashfire Not sure
