Digital vs. Analogue recordings: which are best?

[Iain Sinclair]

Best to do it sooner rather than later, the more fiddling a hard drive encounters the more likely it is to throw a wobbly!

Nowadays I keep everything important on an offboard hard drive (with another offboard containing a back-up), they're easier to rescue data from in case of problems. When data is stuck on a boot drive and there's a failure of the computer, it can be a nightmare to recover the data.

However, I'm guessing I should have told you this before your diodes went pop.

Thanks for the tip. Hard drive rescued and put inside USB thingy, so I can a) retrieve files and b) use it as a place to back stuff on to. So, a result of sorts. I'm now saving up for a new laptop.
