Occasionally a friend of DC without a web site will release a program and ask us to host it. We've create the Miscelaneous Member Software Archive for this purpose.
There you will find some programs by DC member seedling, including: Random MixTape Maker, which takes a large collection of your mp3 files and creates playlists with a specified target duration; WTF Music Info, which will scan your music directories and give you a nice, graphical view of your music library.
- Number of programs available: 3
- Last updated: 2008
- Visit the miscelaneous DC member archive page to browse apps and download them here: http://www.dcmembers.com/archive.

Redo Backup and RecoveryDC member ewemoa writes: Been trying out Redo Backup and Recovery to backup and restore a system partition for Windows XP. (Mentioned earlier by ha14.) Sample set up: 0. Prepare a minimal updated Windows XP (mine may have been somewhere in the neighborhood of 7GB). 1. Download and burn the Redo live cd. 2. After booting from the live cd passed the initial menu, choose the menu item to install to USB device (8GB was more than enough) and follow the screens... Sample backup usage: 1. Boot from the USB device (here, this was much faster than via optical media). 2. Choose backup and follow the screens -- choose to save the Windows XP partition to the USB device. 3. Wait a bit (less than 10 minutes here). Sample restore image: 1. Boot from the USB device. 2. Choose restore and follow the screens -- choose to restore the image from the USB device. 3. Wait a bit (less than for backing up here). Recommend testing with VirtualBox first. FWIW, the following was a nice tip for getting VirtualBox to boot from USB: http://www.pendrivel...drive-in-virtualbox/ The live cd comes with a few useful apps including gparted, palimpsest (aka Disk Utility), TestDisk, a disk wiper, and Chromium. Redo appears to be a wrapper around partclone which IIUC is used by Clonezilla (also nice but more complicated to figure out IMHO). multi usb note Had some difficulty using the live cd iso from YUMI or Sardu (may have been both) so went with a dedicated USB device. |
