When you go to reinstall windows and forget...

(1/1)

Piglet:
When you go to reinstall windows on an old drive and forget to unplug your raided data drives

When you delete the existing partitions and then suddenly remember the data drives in the other drive bay and think that just perhaps you've deleted all the code you've ever written, all the saved passwords and security details you've ever saved, all the family photos you've been meaning to back up to those fancy archive disks you bought a year ago, all your emails and saved login details in the browser...etc etc

Arghhhhhhhhh!

You power off, reconnect the old boot disk...and fire up again...

And find it's all still all there....

Time to do a backup!

That’s why my NAS is a separate box. I’m even hesitant to put the Ubiquiti controller on the NAS. I’m afraid to put anything but my data on it.

We’re too old for our hearts to get surprises like that. 😎
