this is for the techies on here.

something i posted on another thread got me thinking.

i have an old computer i use to test shit on. like load a new os and just fuck with it to see if it breaks, or infect the fuck out of it to test a new av. shit like that. or just to just fuck around with and see what happens when you do something you are pretty sure you shouldn't.

anybody else have a shit box they use for the same purpose?

Yes....I have an old computer for doing just that. But, because it is old some things it just can't handle. When that becomes the case, I use my good PC, but with caution in the following way.

I have two separate RAID arrays in it. The second array is a clone of the first. Before doing any testing I will complete a FULL backup (which is cloning the primary array to the secondary array) which takes about 30 minutes. After doing this I will install and/or test whatever I need to. If I have any failures or problems of any kind, I simply reverse the backup (cloning) procedure and I am back in business as if nothing happened. I use Acronis for the cloning process.

sweet sounding setup you got there. paint me green.

i keep renewing my tester. when i replace my present desktop, it becomes the test platform, and the old tester goes out the fucking door.
