Install a mail agent on each server, send all emails to the local agent, and let the local agent send it upstream to the actual relays.
Your emails will arrive eventually, even if the whole network is down!
You can tune the retry parameters on the local agents to be pretty aggressive on retries.

Marc,
In our little system we have email sending configured as a Boolean. Down when we're instantiating the class that sends the email, we look at that. If false, we instantiate an implementation of the class which writes to a local file instead of sending the email.
So, we can check content etc in development without the risk of "oops that was a real email address."
I wonder if something similar could be wired up for your error condition. Once you're in the catch block, fire off the email send, but pass the magic param which says "write to log/file/send up a flare/whatever."

At least someone is *trying* to handle/report errors. Better than ignoring them.

I did something similar. My program connects to a SQL database and when that database connection is broken an exception is thrown and logged to a message processor which also tries to log it to the, wait for it, SQL database. Which then throws the exception again.....

Not exactly his area of expertise, but he's right. You could see a living cell as a very complicated biochemical machine. Everything that can directly modify the DNA or interfere with its replication can eventually cause cancer.

Exactly.
However, moderation is the key here, that no one is talking about. A few drinks a month versus a few drinks a day...moderation - same goes for most things/vices. BIG DUH!

Always reminds of the quote generally misattributed to Einstein "Insanity is repeating the same actions and expecting different results".
Wrong on two counts (at least):
1. Einstein never said it.
2. Even if he did, I don't think being a genius in physics necessarily qualified him to make statements on diagnosis of mental illness.

you have to die from something - shortness of breath, whatever - you can be the healthiest person in the world and get hit crossing the street (or these days, get an lead injection from some maniac with a gun) ... so you may as well do everything in moderation, enjoy, be a nice person, and not beat yourself up

Far and away the biggest causes of lethal cancer -- to the degree that nothing else is even in the same ballpark -- are oxygen and sunlight.
Unless you give up those two, there's precious little point in giving up anything else.

Just wait; this "study" will be debunked.
Even the article goes from certainty in the headline to "probably" within a few paragraphs. It wasn't even a study, but one person looking at what appear to be opinion pieces by various international cancer funds. The author's history also suggests she decided to find a link and allegedly found one.

Hi OG
And All,
I am planning to bite the bullet finally and upgrade to Win10 (from windows 8.1) !
So, taking advice from many discussion here on CP, I thought of taking precautions (read backup). And I have few questions.
1. Do I download from www.aomeitech.com ?
2. My C drive (and only one) has about 300 GB data. How much space I need on external HDD?
3. In case of event I need to rollback, how will it work ? Will it create a bootable CD or something ?
And for general upgrade: If I do in-place upgrade (or whatever that is called), will it have one drive only or it will give me option to partition? Or should I partition before?
Any other precautions?
Thanks in advance..
Thanks,
Milind

1) Yes: AOMEI Backupper: Data Backup and Restore Software for PC, Laptop and Server[^]
2) Depends n what the data is!  Some stuff compresses better that others (video for example doesn't compress well because it's already compressed). As a guide, my C: (Os and apps) plus my D: (data) is around 320GB, and backs up to about 191GB using the default compression.
3) You create a bootable CD / DVD / USB which contains WinPE from the Utilities menu in the app. That loads a "Windows Preinstallation Environment" when booted that lets you restore over your HDD. It works: first thing I did was do a "check restore" onto a "spare" HDD when I had completed my first backup.
If you are talking upgrade to SDD, then use Backuper first, then use the Partition Assistant from the same company which has an option for upgrades - and it worked well for me! It will let you play with partition sizes before and after the upgrade.
Me? I like to separate OS & apps from Data, and if you only have space for a single drive (lappy for example) then partitioning is a good idea. But...if you aren't partitioned already, it's a PITA to separate the two afterwards as nearly every app stores where it wants to store data differently...

The laptop came with 1 TB (DELL ones come with single partition, don't know why they do that) and I was in so hurry to start working that I installed everything and later realized that I need to partition...
So now, I have data of 300 GB in 1 TB harddisk, people say that I can partition with s/w like partition-magic without loosing data. But having only one laptop (for work) I am reluctant to take that risk..
Hence question, should I partition before upgrade to Win-10 (I am planning to try in-place upgrade first)..
Thanks,
Milind

You can re-partition without loosing any data - I did it using AOMEI Partition Assistant when I was happy with my SSD. The original setup was 1TB HDD split 50/50 as C and D. When the SSD was fine, I used PA to repartition the HDD to a 1TB single partition and had no problems at all.
If you are doing an inplace upgrade, then I wouldn't partition first - you won't know if a failing app is because of the upgrade or you missed it's data when you tried to split them.
What I'd probably do is upgrade, see what happens, and then maybe re-install everything from scratch at a later date onto a partitioned disk.
To be honest, with only one physical disk any partitioning only brings a logical benefit - a disk failure is going to scrap both partitions, not just one!
I'd also recommend doing a backup before the upgrade and a second one when the upgrade is complete. Probably unnecessary, but external drives are a lot cheaper than time these days!

Thanks for all the advises
Lappy came with 1 TB and I have 1 TB ext. HDD. So, for now, I will go ahead as you said: backup, upgrade, test for few days and then partition.. You are right that it won't help in hardware failure but at least in OS issues, it helps a little.
But before all that let me make sure my other oldie laptop can connect to internet else I will be in stone-age without help in case of any issue...
Thanks,
Milind
