… I spent the day carrying on with the back-up. I would love to tell you that it’s finished, but no such luck, and not for the least of the reasons that the photo partition ran out of space.
Not only that, there are two other backups on the external hard drive too, one from a laptop of ages ago and the other is the continually-updated SD card back-up, and my next trick is to merge the two previous backups and then merge them in with the current one.
That won’t be easy as I need to keep the most up-to-date version of any file, and I bet that I’ll get it wrong.
So as far as I got, that took until 02:00 and then I crawled off to bed. But I did have an interruption. At about 16:OO Simon came round. That was “long time no see”. Anyway, it seems that his van broke down a week or so in Riom and was taken to a garage (the same one to which I took Caliburn in 2011) and they have been unable to fix it. The van needs to be taken – as a non-runner – to Montlucon. Could I help?
The van is too heavy for the trailer and also the towing dolly, but I do have something else and if I can find it in the desperate pile of rubbish that is the barn, I’ll go round and help him out tomorrow.
