Jim, Andrew and Christian are joined by good friend of the show, Chris Lux for this weeks installment of the Home Tech Podcast.
With everyone back on deck, and the Skype Gods working in their favor, the guys kick off with some listener feedback from Michael in Connecticut who shares with the show how he uses the often talked about SyncToy to copy his critical data between his Windows Home Server, and his cloud storage provider of choice, Mozy.
Moving on from backups, Jim talks about his recent experience of recovering data from a friends’ failed hard disk, using the “6-inch drop method”, which involves dropping the disk onto a hard surface from 6-inches which sometimes seems to work as a last ditch effort. The guys go on to talk about the other various methods they have used, such as freezing a faulty drive (in a zip lock bag to prevent condensation build-up), and even the KISS method of swapping the faulty disk into a different PC. Although these techniques do work from time to time, the most failsafe method is still taking a regular backup!

Christmas without Skype? We all had a hard time believing that Skype had gone down! So, we recorded this episode a little differently this time and you will certainly hear the difference. With Skype down, Jim, John and Christian, cobbled up a quick solution and off we went! It’s still a great show but I apologize for the audio. We talk about Jim’s Drobo post and what is coming next and our featured guest is Christian Johnson. Christian shares his latest Add-In with us and it’s upcoming release date.
