A backup a day is all I ask

Posted on Thursday, June 19th, 2003

I was once again reminded of the value of a good backup strategy last night, when Eudora crashed, and corrupted my e-mail Inbox. Almost 700 messages, most not yet responded to or handled, wiped out. No matter what Eudora tries to tell you, rebuilding the table of contents for a mailbox is not always what you want. But recovery was easy. I fired up Retrospect, located my Inbox in the list of files backed up, and recovered it. Fired up Eudora again, and I was good to go.
