you are right, I should have backed it up, but the owner forgot to pay the bill on the backup server. So the only backup is on my time machine. Which means I need a laptop with similar configuration to restore. And right now no one is willing let me erase their mac book pro to restore backup.
I did not intended to be a advertisement, but I thought if you are in Aarhus then why not. It would nice to meet some local programeer. I donät read reddit, facebook or twitter.
- kintamanimatt 13y ago> forgot to pay the bill on the backup server I'm not sure I believe the "owner" is telling the truth. If he forget to pay the bill (why isn't it a credit card recurring subscription?), or the credit card failed due to insufficient funds, then he would have received multiple emails warning of service termination. Why aren't you backing up your code to private repositories, ones that can be had for free from bitbucket.org? Even Dropbox would have been a good alternative, although you might want to encrypt anything sensitive! If you're telling the truth, I'm certain you need to walk away from this sketchy owner and this bankrupt startup.
- treenyc 13y agoyeah, I think that is a honest mistake, we both emailed the service provider, they are still invistigaging why she didnät get an email alert
- kintamanimatt 13y agoBe suspicious of this owner. She sounds like a shambles at the very least, and possibly even dishonest.
- 300bps 13y agoyou are right, I should have backed it up, but the owner forgot to pay the bill on the backup server. I work full time for one company but do side consulting work. For my side consulting work I use SkyDrive (free) on my notebook to store my code which automatically gets synched to 3 other computers. I use a TFS instance for source control on a separate server in my house. I then make manual backups every day and copy them to an offsite FTP server. That's 7 copies of my code including 2 offsite backups (SkyDrive and FTP server). You could do this yourself with free / open source versions of what I use. Just get a Dropbox account and set up a script to copy to it every day. It might just be me but I loathe re-writing code.
- treenyc 13y agothanks 300 bps, I am pretty sure I will do something similar to that in the future, but right now this is really not useful for me at all.
