Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

There were some posts a while back about the online back up service at mozy.com. My iPhoto database recently became corrupt, and since I have 30G of pictures, I wanted to back them up before trying to restore the database.

So, I finally signed up for mozy.com. I just want to warn anyone thinking of using the service -- the estimate is that it will take 7 days, 14 hours to back up 35G of data. I have an external drive with my photo library on it, so I can't move my laptop for a week. Or turn it off.

I'm kicking myself for waiting so long to find a backup solution -- but thankful that it appears my pictures are just fine -- it's just that iPhoto doesn't think it can see them. If I had backed up regularly, I would have already rebuilt the database! Oh, well.

So, here's a friendly reminder -- Make sure you have a good backup plan and use it regularly!!
