Swank...my NAS enclosure was delivered at work this morning, so I drove home over lunch and quickly set it up. Popped in the hard drive, plugged in the power and network cable, and blam. I had a NAS. Right now I'm backing up my entire computer via a direct connection and will test out the wireless tomorrow. If only all of my computer projects went this smoothly!
As of now, the full backup's been running 4 hours and is only 25% done. EEP! And the wireless connection will be half that speed. Dang...maybe I'll end up running cable after all.
Incidentally, ladies, I'm starting a business called Geeks with Benefits. I come to your house, fix all of your computer problems and even do small engine repair, minor electrical and plumbing work, and all you have to do is let me feel you up! No money exchanges hands (unless you're a total land cow). Well, that's the starter coupon I'll offer. My normal non-promotional rates will be as follows:
Flat rate housecall fee (charged upon arrival): Feel up your fully clothed breasts.
0 to 30 minutes of work: Skin to skin hand on boob action!
30 to 60 minutes of work: Handjob.
1 to 2 hours: Blowjob (spit-outs allowed).
2 to 3 hours: Blowjob w/ swallow.
3 to 4 hours: Full penetration.
4 to 5 hours: One of my friends gets involved.
5 to 6 hours: One of YOUR friends gets involved (hot female friends only).
6 to 7 hours: Your mom and sister get involved.
7 to 8 hours: Your grandmother gets involved.
8 to 9 hours: I get to start putting things in your butt like car keys and Sprite cans.
9 to 10 hours: All of the above, plus I get to film it and own full distribution rights to the DVD and all internet sales.
If this works out, I may quit my regular job!

So your backup is going to take roughly 16 hrs, but how many GB are you backing up?
Yeesh...it's 18 hours later and still running (91% done). So far there's about 150 GB of "moderately" compressed data that's been moved over. I wonder if the compression is adding the overhead. I also realized that several large folders were drive to drive backups I'd done previously, so if I delete that, probably nix 25 to 50% of the data that's been moved so far.
Hmmm I have 5-6 hours of cleaning you can do...our pipes are backed up ;) We've been working on them every day for a year but it's always backed up!!
Now when you say payment for that time frame is one of MY friends gets involved ummm I didnt notice any fine print of what gender that has to be! I have mostly male friends...is that a problem? ;)
I have made the appropriate modification. Hot chicks only. No sausage on my pizza, please.
Do you have a radius of the area you are servicing? I do believe I have a few hours worth of fixing that I need done...
Some girl, can I pencil you in for Monday? Usually I make an estimate and take up front payment next to the dumpster by Arby's. If I overestimate (as I often do), you can take it as credit for future work.brttuh
Once again, you have offended me. Joke or no, this is crap!
maarmie, I'll quote one of my favorite episodes of the Simpsons. "You say that so often it's lost all meaning."
No, YOU have lost all meaning!
Um...touche(?)
lol - This is cute. Good luck with business...
I agree with maarmie. Over 18 hours as a backup time offends me as well.
LOL...well, Hank, you'll be happy to know that I realized that I had had file verification turned on in Norton Ghost. I turned that off, and that more than halved the total backup time. I also staggered the full and incremental backups for my 3 drives (2 physical drives, one broken into 2 partitions) across different nights so not everything is being backed up on one night. I'll probably adjust compression ratios and schedules over the next few weeks.
