I was being very careful and doing a full system backup and ghost of my laptop. It was going very well, about 40% done when I knocked the external destination drive off the desk onto the floor. Normally this would just be a pain in the ass because I double backup everything. So all the files located on that particular drive (aka: Montreal) are also on another drive (aka: New York). Just like all the files on New York are also on Boston. However (wait for it) on Sunday I backed up my portable hard drive to Montreal (including quite a few days of photographs) and did not take the time to copy that data over to New York. And last night I did a full data backup of my laptop to Montreal and also did not back that up to New York.

So the Ghost creation failed and I could not get my laptop to read the drive. I also could not get my desktop to read the drive. I was wondering how much a drive recovery was going to cost me when I finally got the desktop to see the drive. I'm currently copying everything on Montreal over to New York. With any luck tomorrow I can attempt the Ghost again.

Sheesh. What a moron. No excuse other then not paying attention to what I was doing.
