Back Up Your Joomla! Site with Akeeba

November 4, 2010 by Sallie Goetsch 4 Comments

If you’ve been following this site for any length of time, you’ll know I’m a WordPress fangirl. I’ve written about backup solutions for WordPress sites before, and I’m sure I will again; the darn things seem to proliferate. (In fact, I got to test BackupBuddy on a WordPress Multi-site/BuddyPress install the other day, and though it needed a little tweaking to migrate to a new domain, it worked … [Read more...]

Guest Post: Back Up Your Facebook Profile

October 15, 2010 by Sallie Goetsch Leave a Comment

Ever since I first heard about it at Joomla Day West, I’ve been planning to write about Akeeba Backup, but I haven’t had a chance to test it yet. (Those pesky clients, you know.) And then Facebook came out with the startling news that they’re letting users back up all the material uploaded to their profiles. I’m not a Facebook user, but fortunately my esteemed colleague Lee Hopkins had already … [Read more...]

The Value of Spare Hard Drives

September 19, 2010 by Sallie Goetsch 1 Comment

I started up TweetDeck this morning to find that Mitch Haile (@bwahacker), Dennis Klein (@klein2), and Stefan Didak (@stefandidak), three hard-core home-office builders, were deep in a discussion of backups. To provide a little back story, there’s some dispute as to whether Mitch or Stefan has the most famous home office on the web. Dennis probably has the office with the highest frequency of … [Read more...]

StarTech’s SATA Dock & Duplicator: Handy, not Revolutionary

September 10, 2010 by Sallie Goetsch Leave a Comment

One of the things I like about my new laptop is the eSATA port—even though I don’t have any eSATA external hard drives yet. (I’m sure there’s someone out there who could correct that little oversight.) SATA (Serial ATA) is a faster way to connect your hard drive to your motherboard; most newer computers use it instead of the older EIDE standard. An eSATA port has a speed of 3,000 megabits per … [Read more...]

Don’t They Teach Backup in School These Days?

September 3, 2010 by Sallie Goetsch Leave a Comment

The Ur-Guru pointed me to this sad post on Refreshing News: A Calgary man is desperate to get his stolen laptop, with years of work on it, back. It was stolen from the trunk of his car while he went for a run in Edworthy Park Wednesday night. John Boldt is pleading for the return of his hard drive, which contains research and notes for the thesis he was writing for his master’s degree … [Read more...]

Should You Store Your Files Online?

August 25, 2010 by Sallie Goetsch Leave a Comment

This week we have a guest post from Sally Davison from Fire Science Degree. And a good thing, too, because I’ve been so swamped that I still haven’t had time to test the StarTech SATA drive USB dock. Online data storage is all the rage now; what with cloud service providers vying with one another to provide free storage for all your documents and other data, most people have moved all their … [Read more...]

Backup Blog Gets Coverage: Build My Home Computer

August 11, 2010 by Sallie Goetsch Leave a Comment

There’s a certain irony to this, because I’m a laptop-only person, so I’m not going to be building my own computer anytime soon, but last week Dave Wiebe of the Build My Home Computer site asked if he could interview me about backups. I agreed, and the resulting interview is now posted on his site. Dave also has his own page about backup. I didn’t reveal any deep, dark, never-before-mentioned … [Read more...]

From Data Deposit Box to KineticD

August 8, 2010 by Sallie Goetsch 1 Comment

I was late to the launch party for the re-branding of Data Deposit Box, but I caught up with CMO Lee Garrison on July 16th to find out what the fuss was about. If you go to the old Data Deposit Box website, you’ll be redirected to KineticD.com, where you’ll be presented with a nice AJAX pop-up window announcing the following: Data Deposit Box is now KineticDTM While we’re still the same company … [Read more...]

Back to School Sale on Acronis True Image Home 2010

July 30, 2010 by Sallie Goetsch Leave a Comment

Acronis kindly notified me that they’re having a back-to-school sale on Acronis True Image Home 2010. Act now and you can get it for $29.99 instead of $49.99. I haven’t tried the home version of True Image—or not for some years—but the Ur-Guru swears by the Workstation version, which he installed on my new laptop. I haven’t had to restore from it yet, which is the real acid test, but it creates … [Read more...]
