Today I decided that rather than having three Posso Boxes full of floppies, I would rip them to image files on my laptop using the dd command. Ha! That did not work well.
As I'm fond of preaching at work "always test your backups regularly" (I'm an Oracle DBA - we do not lose data!) - I suppose I should follow my own advice. Of three Posso Boxes full of floppies, I have rescued and ripped the entire contents of the Digital Precision Collection, 10 discs, and about 5 of my own originals. 15 floppies only!
Everything else is toast!

So, don't make the same mistake, test your backups from time to time!
