My computer popped up a message telling me that I shouldn't have disconnected the drive.
I calmly (ha!) told my computer that I had done no such thing.
Figuring that it may have been due to the system overheating (it has been hot here of late), I turned off the drives and let them sit for a couple of hours. Then I tried again.
Everything was going smoothly. Files were copying.
The time said I had only about 2 minutes left.

It did it again (that's how I got the above image).
Lovely.
The joys of working with technology.
So, yes, problems happen to everyone. Are you prepared for what will happen if your system takes a nose dive?

Lost 4 years of video projects back in January... I now am backed up fully online at Mozy.com (about $5 per month and it has already come in handy), have 1TB of internal memory, a 150gb LaCie, a 500gb Maxtor, and two 750gb LaCies that I haven't even unwrapped yet until we begin production on our feature (backing up off the internal drive and duplicating it across the drives overnight in case 2 of the 3 blow).
Paranoid? Yeah.
That sounds like a pretty solid backup system. Awesome.
Losing data is terrible.
Thanks for the Mozy tip.
