Hi all, I started using Hoster about a year ago, and from day one, I decided to leave my discs at home
. Big leap of faith, but I've never looked back.
I have all my .kma's and about 2500 laserdisc tracks on three 200gb Maxtor hard drives on slide mounts in my tower. I also carry three backup cloned hard drives also on slide mounts with me in case of a breakdown. Luckily it has only happened once, when a hard drive failed during a gig. I keep a cd player in the rack with a compilation cd playing on repeat all the time, with the fader off, so that if I get a problem, I can fade it up instantly, and have independent background music playing whilst I sort out the problem. No embarrassing silences
. When I did have the failure, I just swapped all of the hard drives at once and re-booted the pc, it only took about 3 or 4 minutes and the show was back on. When I got home, I identified the faulty drive and replaced it. Worked a treat and I breathed a big sigh of relief!!
I can't praise Hoster highly enough, it is just superb!
