[04:52] Anybody here? [04:53] I just have 1 question [04:53] About archiving files... [04:54] don't ask to ask, just ask [04:54] *** freedom has left [04:57] *** freedom_ has joined #archiveteam-ot [04:57] ok i am back. [04:57] it may take a few hours for the right person to see your question and respond [04:58] 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] I start archiving old tv show last few days so i may buy more storage soon... [04:59] and anything else i find usefull for safekeeping* [05:00] 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] I read about RAID but i don't wanna use that for now [05:00] 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] 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] yes [05:01] 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] won't last forever* [05:01] yeah that what scare me [05:02] 1 more thing. [05:02] i put some small files on rar archive with protection 3% there safe or i should worry i may lose them? [05:03] I was on reddit datahoarder searching for answer from yersteday but i feel better talking to a person... [05:03] you just want to combine small files into one big file that's the same total size? [05:04] No [05:04] i mean rar files live forever? [05:05] 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] 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] How they corrupt? [05:05] 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] .tar? [05:06] to be clear: raid is NOT A BACKUP, only a method of reducing the chances that a disk dying causes data loss. [05:06] fenn: I think they're asking about using some kind of ECC in rar [05:07] 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] you can make a par2 file to provide redundancy/error correction for .rar files [05:10] ok it's called a "recovery record" and uses reed-solomon coding [05:10] *** freedom_ has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 263 seconds) [05:10] pfft [05:11] anyway [05:11] does that mean he closed the page? [05:11] *shrug* [05:11] changes are much better that the whole drive goes at once, so [05:11] (at least in my experience) [05:24] No it means his internet is terrible [05:24] the ping timed out [05:40] 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] Not sure [05:45] *** Jutfromwe has joined #archiveteam-ot [05:45] Hi [05:45] I'm gonna close the tab now [05:46] ok [05:46] nothing happened [05:50] *** Jutfromwe has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 260 seconds) [06:31] *** Igloo_ has quit IRC (Read error: Operation timed out) [06:39] *** Igloo has joined #archiveteam-ot [06:48] *** schbirid has joined #archiveteam-ot [07:43] *** Stiletto has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 260 seconds) [07:59] *** BlueMax has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection) [07:59] *** BlueMax has joined #archiveteam-ot [08:49] *** Mateon1 has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 268 seconds) [08:50] *** Mateon1 has joined #archiveteam-ot [09:49] *** BlueMax has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer) [10:23] *** BlueMax has joined #archiveteam-ot [11:02] mal, fenn, Flashfire: Normally, you get a "Page closed" quit when you close the tab.
