Carol's Vault: Rescue files with a boot CD

  • Jason Drohn · 3 years ago
    How true. This only ever happened to me once and it was an old pc. I just rebuilt it, thankfully! With that said, I encourage everyone reading this to make backups of your data..

    I just left a clients office where he sacrificed 1.5 years worth of client information because he didn't back up his server!! Not a good place to be...

    Carol, you are an awesome wiki editor by the way!

    When that happens to me ,i just use the Norton rescue cd but next time i will try Knoppix.

    And Jason,thanks.I was a bit afraid.

    Knoppix is dead good for that, although you need a PC new enough to run it. Damn small linux has lower specs. But if your Win 98 PC won't take USB drives and has 128MB RAM this is dead handy.

    I haven't tried this one,Harry.
    Only Ubuntu and Knoppinx .
    But it's useful information you give here.
    Thank you for sharing.
