From one geek to another, back up your data!

Sat, 09 Aug 2008 12:02:32 +0000

Hello all, hope all is well.

Last week my wifes puter went BSOD. I ended up doing the Ghost restore back to day one. As I began to put her puter back together with her favorite programs, I hoped she had a current backup of her emails and Firefox favs put away somewhere.

She did! I was a happy toad! But for some reason, the backups were not compatible with the restore options with Firefox and Thunderbird.

So she lost all her emails for the last 2 months. The Firefox favs and settings are not a worry so much, but those emails she lost, sad.

So I come to you today thru the zeros and ones of the Internet to tell you,,,,,

Back up you data and make sure the restore options will work. Now I use Mozy and Ive had to do a restore with it in the past and it works great. So dont just be satisfied that you have backups, make sure the restore will work! Try it out. Do a backup and then right away, restore the data and check it.

Heres the Mozy link I promote on SpywareBiz.com, give it a try.
