So, I'm an avid music collector and I had a lot of my collection on a disk that failed and I was afraid to mess with it because I didn't want it to just stop working.

I sat down tonight to see if I could get up running enough to recover some of my music.

And I got it working. I think I might be able to save all of my music.

I think I'm gonna legit cry, ya'll.

@Are0h always enjoy a happy ending.

(but please backup backup backup!)

@thomnottom Ha, that's the problem. My back up failed. I need to investigate an off-site solution as well.

It's just so much data.

@Are0h oof, yeah. Take a look at backblaze or crash plan. Amazing how easy it is for hard drives to fail!

@thomnottom I know Backblaze, but I'll check out crash plan too.

Definitely not trying to go through data loss again.
