Hi MSSS Aspirants!
How are you? Hope you all are doing good and studying just as hard! Just a month away from the main comprehensive exams and a couple of days for the Assignment Quiz to be taken!
During this semester there has been regular uploads of the Lecture PPTs/PDFs and the Video recordings of the Lectures for those who could not attend the online Classes which were held at the day time, when most of us are at our workplace.
As of today, most of the planned Lectures for all the 4 subjects have been held and the contents of the same have been published at Taxila.
It is now, a necessary action, to back up the files uploaded for the purpose of data back-up in case of a local hardware failure at the student's end or a sudden unavailability of Taxila and therefore leading to complete loss of the all the materials stored for the future references and exam preparation.
A Lecture's Windows Media Video File's size ranges from 50 MB to 60 MB. The related Lecture PDF/PPT File's size ranges from a MB to 2 MB. So considering an average of 20 Lectures/Subject, the total archive comes to about 4 GB worth of data.
Use of a DVD is suggested!! Also a proper directory structure is to be maintained while backing up on the DVD as the DVD data does not store recent opened file history or related meta-info.
Example of a proper directory structure is given below:
