... I keep SR turned off all the time. The main reason is SR has
failed me and too many clients when it was really needed, so it's a
false sense of security IMO, so why depend on it at all.
Strange! It has saved my and millions of others all of the time.
You can speak for yourself. "Millions of others" I seriously doubt.
And I wouldn't be making false claims of it's usefulness without
experience.

I help people all of the time, and 99% of the time it fixes the problem.
Couple my experience times millions, it has to be in the millions.


Again, you can't "couple experience". Stating millions is your guess.

A good backup schedule is by far the best protection.
Software backups are totally useless if your hardware fails. So that
isn't a good plan in my book. Only software and hardware backups are
the only way to go IMHO.
Did I say software only? No. What's your point? On my workstation I
have 3 internal hard drives with partition copies of my OS's, data and
programs between the three, data drive backed up to another drive each
day. I have 3 external drives that I also back up too. On networks I
admin, our servers always use RAID 5 and weekly rotating tape backups,
along with Shadowing. Who are you preaching to?

You rely on SR and I'll stick to what I know works, okay?

Useless if your monitor, CPU, RAM, motherboard, power supply, etc.
fails. Then your backups won't do you any good, now will they? I don't
care what kind of warrantee or service contract you have, they can never
beat my system. As I am always back up and running in seconds or two
minutes tops.


The backups do exactly what they're designed to do. I don't care if the
items you list go bad. NO ONE can do anything about hardware failing.
It happens. Your argument is ridiculous in light of having a good
backup schedule.

You think because you buy two of everything you're covered? Good luck
with that, and the wasted expense.
