Thank goodness for Mike Bombich and CarbonCopyCloner (CCC) for Mac OSX. I use CCC and an external, firewire drive to routinely backup my machines and I am very grateful for that habit today. We had a 20 second power hit at work and my G5’s main drive crashed… hard. Unable to repair disk using Disk Utility and fsck was not finding the problem either.
Lucky for me I had a backup from the previous business day (which is unusual even for me – since I typically only backup once a week. I booted off the clone backup drive to discover this, and I am now using CCC to rebuild my main drive. Posting this from my old SGI O2 workstation using Mozilla 1.0.2 (Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; IRIX IP32; en-US; rv:1.0.2) Gecko/20030820), and goodness it’s slow, but at least it works.
