RAID systems are - generally - kept in server rooms or co-location facilities. The physical swap is trivial - but getting to the system is not... Corporate RAID systems are generally, and of necessity, well protected in secure environments, I agree. But we are talking about domestic systems here a...

Years ago I had a machine with three 8Gb drives - yes it was many years ago :) One day a PSU fault took out all three drives AND the mobo. I was lucky as a mate of mine had bought a similar system at the same time and lent me an identical drive. I had correctly hoped the data would be OK, but ...

p.s. the warrantee on a harddisc is useless, you don't get the data back, you just get a new (blank) drive. Then you got 'Getty Images' that can do as they want, and there is a way around any licence that you think you may have. So, Flickr as a storage medium is a no no from the start. The same i...

Proper backups on separate media and preferably kept off-site is the only correct way to do it in my opinion. Absolutely! With the cost of external USB drives now being so small, there's pretty much no excuse for anyone to try the following. : -Buy 2x External Harddrives (500gb+ are £50 even from...

Copyright protection within the UK is very easy, with easy access to courts etc. I have successfully settled out of court this year for a breach of copyright for one of my images used by a huge fashion company. This company sponsors tv stations, tv programmes & has many of the worlds top models work...

As for back up systems, I bin the majority of my images on edit, so from one shoot I may be left with 10 to 20 images. Awwwww - I could never do that. Off and on over the last year I've been scanning my old 35mm negs from the 1980s. Even the one's I didn't consider keepers at the time now are very v...

What I think there is an opportunity for here is a server on the end of an Internet connection. To which is attached a RAID box with your data on it. You seed it and maybe rotate once a month. The rest of the time you push the files you want via secure method (SFTP?) to a remote location and they ar...

to clarify what I'm saying... it costs money to engineer and retool for a new from the ground up camera.... now if you could take the tiniest model in the lineup... improve the video capabilities by controlling the heat from the sensor better... use a partially silvered pelicile mirror... (with Pe...

Lets face it, Pentax have always made lousy compact cameras. Totally disagree with that. When was the last time you tried them out? Pentax, especially currently, have some fantastic compacts on offer. Of course you disagree, john. - I'd be shocked and disappointed if you did. :D But it's true. Pe...

A few days ago, I spent an hour looking at what Pentax had to offer. I went back and forth from Pentax's website to SRSs site. I read lots reviews. I read your glowing words about the I-10, here on PU. Have been thinking along the same lines. Quickly dismissed Pentax as mediocre at best and have b...

With respect, any review from you John, or indeed from Dan, is inevitably going to be seen as potentially biased. It's a chicken and egg thing. I came here because I use Pentax cameras. I use Pentax cameras because they suit me ergonomically. generally anyway. I don't use Z series because I don...

I bought a serious compact, a Canon G10. The image quality is very disappointing, when compared to my Pentax DSLRs. Despite the G10s 14mp image, the quality is not usually sufficient for good A3 prints. A 6mp Pentax iST DSLR gives better quality. In my opinion, all compacts give inferior image qu...

Chrissinkpen. Yes, I think they are lousy... And yes, I have tried other brands. The great majority of the kind of photography I like to do most, is done with Canon digital compacts and ancient Olympus film compacts. The Canons are an A70 and an S40. Both of them are very old models. The sad thi...

Yes, I think they are lousy... And yes, I have tried other brands. Have you tried an LX3? From what I've seen, definitely the best IQ of any compact. avchd or h264 video compression Can we have the option of regular AVI as well please Don, so I can actually play these files back on my PC? Ta!

... then tell me I'm wrong about where Pentax needs to focus... I'm looking around for the person you think you're arguing with, Don! I certainly agree with you. Although personally I'm happy with MF and definitely prefer mjpeg capture becaus eit doesn't make me need to buy a new PC, I can see that ...

I've no doubt that I'll now get told I've got it all wrong and that the I-10 is infact a fine little camera, capable of great results in the right hands. But I have to rate it as one of the most disappointing consumer electrical purchases I've ever made, but one I should have foreseen given that out...

sort of back up thing I came across this plea for help I am looking into those portable photo storage hard disk things. It seems like a good idea, and would mean that, when on holiday, I wouldn't have to take my laptop or buy more SD cards. I am looking for a very cheap one. It doesn't have...
