[QUOTE="cosmos, post: 858868, member: 85772"] [USER=19756]@monkeylove[/USER] the fellows I've prepared rigs for amount to around 50-100 [B]each year.[/B] Not 5 or 10 people :) As for your comments, well you're spot on. My stance is that disaster is unavoidable. However not a lot of fellas that bring their rigs to me understand that. Some actually buy software: I've redirected them to either Kaspersky or ESET simple AV programs (AV and NOD32 respectively), no internet security and the such, since they don't know thing about blocking/allowing apps etc. There's good chance they'll more bad than good and I'll be nowhere to be found. Now, If they don't want to spare anything: well, this is what this thread is about ;) And, WD and KSC seem to be ok. Tend to the latter for the time, since it allows some remote control in case someone needs me. Or KSC has some fault and I have to fix from a distance. Coming back to the inevitable of disaster, solid backup comes to mind. Over the years, I've come to Veeam free backup, with a backup job triggered by just connecting a specially prepared external hard disk. Simple as that. Full bare metal backup included (although they'll have to find someone to recover things). ublock origin is also a must as well as acronis drive monitor. Small thingie, monitors smart and overall disk health, sends email if something goes wrong. [/QUOTE]
