Woo Hoo. Found a backup copy on the server from 5 weeks ago... it boots and has all my stuff on it!

FYI My 2 day old nightly backup crashed after an hour. Went to a 6 week old backup and it lasted 2 hours so far.

Have had recent backups backup the thing that caused the crash only to repeat the crash more than once.

That's what I like about Time Machine. Does hourly backups for 24 hours, then saves them as daily for 2 weeks, then saves weekly for a month, the montly for as much drive space as you gots. Time machine is more for retreiving specific files. Also do an incremental bootable backup weekly and save monthly copies.

The 3rd commandment of computers
1, 2, 3 many backups.

Going to have the VMWare guys help me find out what caused the crash. My CCD is 3 years old. Wonder if it is getting corrupted.
