Cybra.Net : Geekery Abounds

Last week the HD in my desktop went bad with no warning. The status still showed normal, but attempting to repair, format, restore, or reinstall the OS failed on every attempt. I've been using Mozy to store the supercritical stuff offsite but the real savior of the day was OSX's Time Machine. Ordered a new HD next-day, installed it, and 'restore from Time Machine' got me back up and running like nothing ever happened. I'm very thankful I got a new external HD for christmas. Having a bootable backup that's not going to require you to reinstall everything is priceless! I could make my own system for doing this, but TM just works. Hope this reminds the rest of you guys to have a backup solution - even if you're just dumping to DVD every month!
