[DM-MUG] 3 crashes in 3 days

[Victoria L. Herring]

Well, I thought I would let you know what I did and what has been 
going on.  First, I decided to take this occasion to clean off my 
harddrive and reinstall OSX and clean things up in general.  I ran 
CCC and also REtrospect (more later on that), did other backups too, 
reinstalled Panther and ran software updates until all current.  I 
have iLife and have to do that next, but have been doing other basic 
apps. I use.  I do a few, restart, repair permissions and do a few 
more.   It's going slow but I don't want it to go otherwise.  I want 
to take whatever time I need to put on what I want, but no more.

Now, as to the CCC REtroBackup thing:  isn't it always true something 
must go wrong???  I ran CCC but because I didn't think I'd need any 
of the OS9 applications did not copy those over....I ran Retrospect 
twice and so (tho I haven't gotten in there yet) know I h ave those 
incremental backups.  I also did copy over the entire Documents file 
to an external drive.

I did the reinstalls and all that...went to try to find my Timeslips 
(Time and Billing program)....and with a sick thud realized that I 
had kept it in the OS9 Apps folder (it's a classic app) and NOT in 
main Apps folder....so I have no backup, unless it's on REtrospect. 
I did burn a CD back in January with it on it, but that's all, unless 
I have one on some other harddrive somewhere...

ick.

Oh well, I'm just going to plow ahead and get the Cube cleaned up and 
functioning...and then this afternoon will hunt down the most recent 
TS and put it back on the cube.  I'll deal with whatever loss at the 
end of the day perhaps with a tall red wine.

So far it is going well.  knock on wood

Next time i'm putting TS into the Main apps folder!!!
