Easy Does It...

I'm doing a final back up on my old laptop and it feels a little like defusing a bomb right now.

Having worked perfectly yesterday it took me 30 minutes to get it to boot this morning and then it hung, then 10 minutes and just as I was ready for the back up a BSOD and finally now, after over an hour it's backing up to my WD Book.

I've got the data drive being sucked clean and I'm currently exporting the back up PST archive folders from the local HDD.

It just needs to last another couple of hours.

Currently it's sitting between me and my desktop keyboard because I'm afraid to move the bloody thing.

Course it's like that. It *knows* you're trying to decommission it, and is trying to make every last moment as difficult as possible!
