    What's so wrong about DVD's? You just need to keep them safe in place. Fuck, I've got DVD's that I've burned over 5 years ago and they're still 100% operational. No errors or anything. If I want to, I just re-burn all the data to another DVD, and there I have it, another few years of safe data (If I keep it safe). Unless you put your DVD's under the rain like you put your computers, you should be safe.. Compare the price (and the ammount of space) of a dvd failing to a hard drive failing and I hope you'll see my point here.

     

    Even USB stick's should be safe enough for quick project backups.

     

    I don't see the point of having 500 hard drives when all you do is waste power (increasing your electricity bill)?

     

    Not everyone is rich or a tech freak nemo, for the rest of use we use alternatives like DVD's and usb memmory.

    w h a t e v e r ; ) you have heard about burn failures right? They look right on your current setup, but wont be read in any other setup? You have heard about USB sticks that can not be read in any other computer than yours? You have heard about fuck ups, right? You do not have to be rich, nor a tech freak to run a safe raid? It all depends on how much data you want to back up, does it not? Are you talking about 100gb or about 5 tb? Heck if it is about 10gb here, I would get myself 2 usb sticks and thats that... If we are talking about 500GB plus, I would not even take the risk to put them on DVDS without getting a 2nd backup. 500gb/4.7gbx2? ;) C O M M O N... thats around 150 Euros in just dvds, and the amount of time it would take ya? 500GB of HDD costs around 30-40 euros at the moment, 500gb x 5 = 200 Euros.... which do you prefer?! :lol:

     

    And how many USB sticks would that not take?

     

    It all depends of what you want to back up and HOW MUCH it is. If I had 20 gb of music, or if I had 500GB of music that I have done, I would consider my options.

     

    But hey, I am just a tech freak!

     

    Edit: How precious is your data to you!? :D

    Given the same number of drives for either setup, the RAID controller has further risk as a point of failure than a regular IDE/SATA, because of controller incompatibilities. It's not necessarily common, but switching raid controllers can trash your array. I've had to restore arrays from backup because data migration to a new RAID controller went south. Not so much a deal when you are working with an IT department with a large budget & is well prepared before the migration. It's definitely a problem for a home user with a limited budget, and perhaps didn't backup their entire RAID array before migrating, or controller failure.

     

    If you can ensure replacement with a 100% compatible RAID controller, then these problems I'm talking about are eliminated. So again, if your budget isn't capped, you'll most likely have no problems. If you are on a limited budget, I think your risks go up. Just my opinion.

    edit: never mind, I do not have time for going around in circles. Listen to Dharma Labs, he knows his shit! :) I am wrong, he is right :)

    If data integrity was my 100% only concern, and I had 4 disks, I would trust 4 backups on 4 separate disks more than I would trust a single backup on a Raid 5 with 4 drives.

    4 drives? I am talking about 4+4 Drives. Drives are cheap as fuck now. And for Raid 10 I would go 4+4x2. But of course, if you only have bullshit to save, then 4 single drive backups is just going to do the trick.... :lol:

    For data integrity only, I would trust 2 or more backups on 2 or more single drives over RAID any day. However, RAID does give you additional performance, so it's all about deciding your own level of risk.

    2 or more single drives?! You prefer 2 or more single drives over a raid 10? Over a Raid 5 with 3 redun disks?! You are c r a z y ;)

    What was it, a hard-drive failure?

     

    I buy a new hardrive every couple of years anyway - and a good one not some cheap crap. But if some boot sector gets messed up or windows messes up I'm smart enough to be able to fix it.

     

    As for some tips:

     

    Use multiple partitions people! At least a 100 Mb partition with a small linux on board with some basic hard drive tools like a partitioner and a cd/dvd burner. It will save your life (and your data) ;)

    Either that or just a stripped down version of winxp (tinyxp) on another partition. Also keep an empty partition of several gigabyte's where you can quickly copy data to in case something really bad messes up and you need to reformat the partition where your data is on. Also make sure you have a Bootable CD or DVD (or USB, or floppy, or whatever :)) of linux. I think there's a live version of Ubuntu aswell as any other major linux distro out there. Look it up on google.

     

    You should also burn all of your project files onto a DVD or a CD (or a USB, they've become pretty large in space size over the years) every month or so. Well it depends on just how active you are, but it's really handy if everything else fails. Remember there's only one thing worse then loosing 1 month work of production - A years work of production.

     

    As for hard drive failures that's a whole 'nother story, but I believe even they can be recovered. There's companies that can do that for you, altho for a pretty large ammount of money (last time I check was years ago so I might be wrong).

     

    Another tip:

     

    Save your projects often. Use either your own version numbering or auto-saving features of your DAW (Several major daws support this - saving your projects by versioning every x ammount of seconds/minutes, really handy). Don't overwrite the same file all the time because in the worst case scenario (say a power outage) you're file may end up corrupted. With no recent backups you could loose hours of work. I've literally got a couple of dozen different version of my every project, of course you might say that I don't need any other version then the latest but I can allways use these old versions to retrace my steps and see if I missed anything out.

    U L T I M A T E L Y

     

    R A I D . 1 0

     

    I was JUST about to build my raid 10 and shove the data onto that before the rain. Forget about DVD and DL DVD. Unsafe like hell. Tape Backup or Raid 5/10 Devices with plenty of disks as Redun, is the only way to go.

    albums or eps that we all think are milestones in the psy scene

    Ah, now I see what you mean. But it is a bit of a paradox: musical genres aren't defined by a specific sound as much as people's perceptions of the music. When I understood what the original intent was I immediately thought of The Muses Rapt - Spiritual Healing. Undeniably a psytrance milestone, but is it psytrance? I've never been sure. You could say the same for early Platipus releases... but this is very murky territory to be exploring. I mean, if you're going to identify BPC's early work, why not that of Eat Static or Juno Reactor? It seems a bit pointless since all this stuff is considered to be a part of psytrance history... and it has less to do with the technical sound you observe but the feeling of the music--a highly subjective response. There is this sense that the stuff that is considered to be psytrance somehow goes together. And that, I think, is sufficient.

    Ok, so what you are saying is, that the formula does not have to apply? Dont get me wrong here, but the formula was pretty clear back in the days imo. Indian sound, alien sounds and not so "straight forward" as all the other "trance". You are talking about Juno Reactor, I would say, it is more tech trance, than Psy trance (when speaking about formula) and would not classify as Psy/Goa in my book, and that might be my mistake as well. As for Eat Static, it had more of the formula than for instance the Platipus stuff. For me, the platipus stuff fit well into a goa set, but not necessarily sounding like psy or goa. It had some really nice ACID TRANCE but the formula was not there. Of course, it is in the ear of the beholder to chose, and I might be out on a limb here. I might be totally wrong about what I say -well not wrong, but just not agreeing with what 90% of the others say- but still if you listen closely to tracks that are released in the same time, BPC for instance, is a total break apart from the goa/psy sound, but still was/is considered one major release in this scene.

     

    I mean, in the days, way back then in the 90s, you had "goa" djs spin everything from Vernons Wonderland, Energy 52 to stuff from Planet Rhythm. The first 5 releases on Planet Rhythm were back then considered as major releases in the Psy Scene, but for me it was more Tech Trance than anything else. Which later then became Techno. Today they are considered Techno Releases...

     

    This discussion however, is not about right or wrong, it is about releases that were misplaced in our genre, and made a milestone, even though it was not really a Psy Release. :)

     

    And its nice that you mentioned Platipus, I mean, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kn6RJKXejtw One of the most epic TRANCE tracks that I have ever heard, also seen as one of the milestone tracks in psy, but by other scenes seen as as something else.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUQR-qIrXso...feature=related (Remixed by one of the finest Techno Producers out there) :D

     

    Ok, OK! I know that the sound was way broader back then, and that at Techno Parties -or raves- there was a lot of variation... I am trying to look back and see... not what was back then, but what is today... in a way... Cause the particular track, is by the TRANCE SCENE seen as a major milestone for its genre today! (scene wars?!) :D

     

    Edit: What about this track?

    What is that? :D (One of the MOST PLAYED tracks on Psy Parties in Sweden back then) :)

    Ok, my tribute to this thread is...

     

    Make backup´s _every_ day... I just lost 2 month´s of work ... :angry:

     

    :ph34r:

    I planned a backup, and then it rained on my backup server, just after I deleted around 10 years of work :P I have recovered 10 tracks out of well, around .... fuck it, too damn many! :(

    There's a huge difference between Ticon and D-Nox & Beckers IMO.

     

    Ticon started as a psytrance group. Minimal, techno-ish yes, but they were part of the psy scene. The same with Skazi, the same with IM.

    From the other hand D-Nox & Beckers were never a part of the psy scene. Just a housey-techy group that some labels ''brought'' in the the psy scene.

     

    Sorry for the off topic btw.

    Yes, true that. I can not argue against it. However, you can not argue that D-Nox and Beckers were ever considered a PSY milestone. You can argue that fans of "Electro House" became more aware of the whole other scene with D-Nox and Beckers or other similar artists. That Trentemoller is taken up in this topic is also totally out of my comprehension to be honest. Trentemoller might be psychedelic to me, but has absolutely nothing to do with PSYtrance imo :)

    D-Nox & Beckers!!!

     

    Every progressive freak loves them, they are clearly a milestone, I don't see a link with psychedelic trance anymore... it bored me to death and it was not psychedelic, neither trance...

    But still not seen as a PSY milestone. You are still talking about TASTE here. Not about what the MOREPART of our scene has seen as a milestone and clearly is not even psytrance. I think D-Nox and Beckers were more seen as a BREAKOUT part from the psy scene, and has made it very far aside from the scene.. No?

     

    Just like the latest Ticon?

    Well you know I'm an amateur, so maybe you could give a release someone know about? :unsure: I don't know any of those releases or labels you mention. Hmm, maybe, I should stay away from this topic if I'm such a retard regarding those areas of discussion... :blink:

    Maybe you should listen to the release, and then make your mind up. The thing is that you just replied to a topic, with no knowledge of even what I was talking about, which is pretty damn fucking sad. I mean, come ON, if you do not even know the track, and then you ask me for an EXAMPLE, that is pretty damn LAME if you ask me.

     

    Here you go: (Found it on YouTube LOL)

    and then compare to:

     

    (Genetic - Transmission)

     

    Or that :D

     

    Listen to the so called elements, the ones that we try and identify as being goa or psy... Just try and feel what is the difference..?? And I am not trying to be a cunt about this, I am trying to have an INTELLIGENT discussion about how some tracks or even acts ended up being "Psy" but are clearly not. :) Not that I mind in any sense, I still love the music... (yes 3 of them above are some of my fav tracks EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVER!) :)

     

    Hint to you: Listen to the mainline coming in at 3.17 of the genetic track, such elements were the typical ones for "Goa" or "Psychedelic Trance" back then...

     

    Analyze, and then get back to me :D pliz?!

     

    I mean, I do not even mind if you argue against me, maybe I am totally wrong about things here, but for ME the 2 first posted tracks are clearly built on the "same formula" whilst the 3rd track is NOT! :D

    Well the topci says releases that are seen as milestones but aren't. It doesen't say anything about the release being psychedelic or not. Only I can think of is like someoen mentioned earlier, OTT- Blumenkraft. Sure there are psychedelic elements in it, but it's not my cup of tea. Now I don't know if it's considered to be a milestone or not. But, yeah this topic is very vague and hard to categorize. Like Nemo is saying, I've tried really really hard to appreciate Pleiadians - I.F.O, very psychedelic stuff. But I don't like it. But it's definately a milestone. And also, how are we to define milestone? Buy sales? Buy popularity?

     

    No RAH, I was just fucking about :) Sorry.. oh and you got that line over the o, very neat

    Maybe if you read what I said in my initial post, you would get it? Stop being a nitpicker ;)

     

    Hey Nemo.BOFH ^_^ , why don't you give us a release considered to be a milestone, then we can argue for and against. And give good evaluated answers to why that release should be fried or honoured.

    Uhhhh, I DID!?!

     

    IMO, BPC - Overbloody Flood EP on UFK does NOT class as PsyTrance or is not even close to being Goa. Why? Well, have a look at other labels like Eye-Q or Harthouse, and you will hear why. It has none of the elements of Goa/Psy, but it does have ALL the elements of classic Trance. Yet we say in our scene it belongs to our scene. How weird isn't that? :)

     

    I mean, this track was probably less played in Goa than Vernons Wonderland, but yet Wonderland is not tagged Oldschool Goa :)

     

    Now you go!

     

    (I have a couple of other objections as well)

    I hate to say, you all failed at this topic. I am not talking about what you hate or dislike, I am talking about releases that people THINK are psy/goa but does not have the elements of it at all. BPC is a perfect example of this for ME. If you hate KoxBox, that is one thing, but I think that KoxBox has way more psychedelic elements than alot of the music released at the time of the first few KoxBox releases. Please, do not make this topic a "I hate Etnica, so I do not think they made a milestone" take REAL milestone releases that are considered psy, that do not have the PSY elements. Cant find one?! Dont let your taste drift this topic apart from what it is ;)
