TECH: “XDRIVE” … not my first choice … but I got it to work today

XDRIVE, now part of AOL (ugh!), has always been tough to use. Not that the interface was hard; no, just getting it to complete was a bear. Today, I was able to make it back up my new data partition. It ran for about five hours (double ugh!) on a high quality office. Sort of “closer” to the heart of the internet. I’m not planning to renew XDRIVE when my contract expires. But, I did get it to finally work. My trick was to delete ALL the backups. That seems to have cleaned up all the trash it was trying to deal with. Sort of like, “oh here a brand new backup”. It worked. So maybe that’s what it needed. A fresh start. FWIW!
