Help: Ack! Yet more searching problems!

I'm really sorry about this, but I just can't seem to get search results that include 2002! Every time I search the latest results are mid-2000.

This time I'm looking for the thread on whether CDs become corrupt and lose data, and the methods that professional archivists are now using to save important data.

I'm sorry to ask - but could someone direct me to this? It's for a colleague who backs up the data of the organisation in which we work.

How Well Do CDs last?

JTT the DT/Forum search has not got recent entries indexed. However when you know something that's likely to be in the title of the threads you're looking for you can use the Filter box to search. Typing CD into the Filter box and setting the Age drop-down to 3 years and pressing Refresh will do this (finding both of those quoted by Masato). (TECH is another you might try).

(You can use the Forum Search in the drop-down that usually shows Quick Links, but that returns a longer list of messages rather than threads I think).

When you know you've contributed to a thread you're looking for (as you did in the TECH: How long do CDRs last? thread), you can click on your name in the From line of any message you've posted (for example the first one in this thread) and get a list of all the messages you've posted and go from there.

Hope this helps

Mick

That's it, Masato. Thanks again. You're a little star, you are.

Mick, that's one of the best descriptions I've read on the search filter!
