UCCNC shuts down unexpectedly

[A_Camera]

I found the clone of my laptop drive from two years ago and allowed W10 to update itself overnight. Installed UCCNC, loaded the saved config files and connected it to the router. It sat idle for several hours with no problem so I'm hoping all will be well.

Good news. Holding my thumb for you...

If it works, don't forget to clone the working disk.

A_Camera,
The disk cloning feature was one I made good use of when using LinuxCNC on a desktop machine. It saved me more than once.

Cloning is good practice, but unless you clone every day, or on a regular basis, you still need to take regular backups. I am using Acronis for both cloning and backup. It runs automatically and I check the backup now and then, just to make sure that the software is running and nothing is damaged. After all, normally you don't know if the backup disk is usable before you need it, so it's a good idea to perform regular checks while the system is working normally.

Your winter's will be a lot colder than we have here. This is our first year in Tasmania and we're finding the winter much milder than we were led to believe.

Yes, maybe a bit cooler here, but I live in the southern part of Sweden, so the winters are not that cold, normally around +5 to 10C° during the day, and while occasionally we do get some arctic chilly days with -20C°, but those are rare. Yes, every year we get a few weeks of isy cold, but those days aren't many. Of course, up north it's a bit different and is much colder, but that's about 1600km from my home.

I assume that is the Swedish equivalent of the English 'crossing my fingers' for luck. Thank you.
