OK, I've backed up video and video projects, taken on my DV camcorder, since about 2005. I wanted to keep the raw avi video of everything I did, so I always split the video up into 4.7gb chunks and stuck them on DVD. I also backed up my Studio projects etc.
So, I recently thought this may not be the best way to continue, with HDDs coming down in price so much, so got a 1tb HDD to copy it all onto, groovy.
Have been doing this bit by bit for the past few weeks, going fine, organising everything into folders, much easier to get to in the future. Then I noticed that not everything was being copied (after I was on my last case of discs, each holding 48 DVDs). Vista's copy window would start (at which point I didn't watch it and did something else) and would then close, for no reason, wtf?????
I can't see any reason for this, it doesn't seem to like copying folders, so it just closed, no error message, nothing, how the fuck is that helpful?
So now I have to go back thorugh everything, compare folder sizes on the disc and on the HDD, to see if everything is there, seriously annoying.
Oh, for this taks I am now using an Ubuntu live CD, which rapes M$ for copy speeds and for just getting on with the copy job regardless!
