the magic of "copy and paste"
who never use the "cut and paste" activity? its kind of super simple task commonly used in our daily work with computer. so simple that we dont think it as magic.
every monday i need to do manual backup from a server to another, and i do it remotely. it means that i log in to RR server through my own computer instead of go to the server room (which is in building 5006 -fyi: im in building 5000). so i log in to RR server remotely, copy some files and put them in IT server as backup directory.
but during the process (take about 3-4 hours), i cannot do anything "big". i still can open office documents, but not another big application.
i also cannot shut down my computer during the process because the IT server is mapped as one directory in my computer.
i also cannot do it before 10.30am since the data update just finished about 10.30am.
i also cannot stay in office until late ..waiting for the backup end, since i dont want to be the last one who leave the office.
i also cannot do it half today and half tomorrow, since every 10am, the data will be update, so tomorrow data would not be the same as todays data.
also if copy process failed due to full disk or disconnection, then i need to start copy from the beginning.. it means .. another 3-4 hours.
whew..
i was upset since the first time i did the backup. i cannot even do "cut and paste" with office when i proceed the backup.
and today i really feel bad. i cannot even copy "RR User Summary Report" in my excel and paste it in another cell because the clipboard were occupied by the backup process. so what i did was type it manually. my report today was generated mannualy by me! fingers type it instead of just copy the data from other excell sheet. im so sick of that backup.
now i just realise that a "copy and paste" is a brilliant idea. from copying a word .. until copy a whole documents .. you can do it by a touch of "copy and paste".
blessed is the people who create the idea :) and poor me since i need to start the backup tonight from home (which is take longer time, about 4-6 hours).. because the backup process was failed :(
exodus 8:19 says:
the magicians said to Pharaoh, "this is the finger of God." but Pharaoh's heart was hard and he would not listen, just as the LORD had said.
