Do You Archive Your Galleries
After making galleries for a year ot two I find that when I do a virus scan it takes a year and a day. Should I, do you archive your galleries so as to remove them from your hard drive?
Thanks Mark |

I archive all my old stuff either to CD or DVD.

I keep 2 mirrors on 2 harddrives (on 2 network computers) of everything in exactly the order it's on the servers (as long as it's on the server it's on my disks at home). But both hd-partitions are not touched by any program variables, so I had only once a virus hiding on them (I hardly ever check all my partitions - maybe once in a month) - most malicious stuff writes itself to your C: drive where all the programs are (plus in my case to the I: partion which is my last one and set aside only for memory cache and IE/mozilla caches) - they are the ones I check daily.
Older content and pages I move usually onto a different partion and back-up from there onto CDs. I don't play games so modern HDs are far too large for my needs. Only new content gets burned asap because I don't want to risk loosing it.

As it is highly unlikely those directories have a virus in them.... tell your V scanner not to scan them...
If you cant tell it that... get a new scanner DD

Actually: I have a third, not so up-to-date, back-up: whenever I'm away for a longer period I have to create a mirror on my notebook, so it usually holds a back-up some 2-3 months old. That I had all sites on it proofed to be a real relief yesterday: my bloody ADSL was down from just after 10:00 in the morning until I went to bed. So I did some updates with the notebook and 56k modem (what a pain in the butt it was).
