FileSlinger™ Backup Reminder 11-14-03: Non-Computer Backups

November 14, 2003 by Sallie Goetsch Leave a Comment

Dear FileSlinger clients, colleagues, and friends: It's time for the weekly mish-mash of backup musings. It's also time for you to go and make your backups if you haven't done it yet. Running out of CDs? Office Depot is having a buy one get one free offer on Philips CD-Rs this week. They're also offering a rebate on APC battery backup UPS/surge protectors. In case I haven't mentioned it before, … [Read more...]

FileSlinger™ Backup Reminder 11-7-03: FTP, Labels, & Mac Backups

November 7, 2003 by Sallie Goetsch Leave a Comment

Dear FileSlinger clients, colleagues, and friends: I've been shifting files from my ancient Mac PowerBook over to my new(ish) Windows XP machine in order to put them onto ZIP disks and be able to take the PowerBook (still completely functional apart from a damaged floppy drive) to the computer recycling people. In the course of going over these files, I came across something that might interest … [Read more...]

FileSlinger™ Backup Reminder 10-31-03: Off-site Backups

October 31, 2003 by Sallie Goetsch Leave a Comment

Dear FileSlinger clients, colleagues, and friends: Though I do try to get these reminders out on Friday, they do sometimes slide for a few days while I try to find something both new and useful to say about making backups. Backing up your files isn't exciting, but it's important. I got yet another reminder of that in yesterday's paper, reading the story about the family that lost 8 houses in the … [Read more...]

FileSlinger™ Backup Reminder 10-24-03: Backups & Human Error

October 24, 2003 by Sallie Goetsch Leave a Comment

Dear FileSlinger clients, colleagues, and friends: This week I was reminded that backups don't just guard us against disk failures and other computer problems—they protect us from human error, as well. I was working on some files for a client, which I had on my hard drive, and somehow, instead of deleting the file I meant to replace with a new one, I deleted the entire folder with all the … [Read more...]

FileSlinger™ Backup Reminder 10-17-03: Be Prepared

October 17, 2003 by Sallie Goetsch Leave a Comment

Dear FileSlinger clients, colleagues, and friends: Here is your weekly backup reminder and storage media update. A week or so ago I promised you a little info on DVD writers. ZDNet (publisher of numerous computer magazines and source of lots of useful free downloads) gives its Editor's Choice award to the Plextor PX-708A DVD-RW (internal) drive. To quote them directly: "Not only does the … [Read more...]

FileSlinger™ Backup Reminder 10-10-03: Special-Occasion Backups

October 10, 2003 by Sallie Goetsch Leave a Comment

Dear FileSlinger Clients: Yes, it's time for your weekly backup reminder. Again. And another reminder: if you don't want to receive this message every week, just let me know and I'll take you off the list. I installed Office 2003 yesterday and was reminded that there are times you need to make special backups in addition to the regular ones. One of those times is before any major upgrade or … [Read more...]

FileSlinger™ Backup Reminder 10-3-03: 2.5" External Hard Drives

October 3, 2003 by Sallie Goetsch Leave a Comment

Dear FileSlinger Clients: Time for your weekly backup reminder! Before reading the rest of this message, make sure you've got more than one copy of that major proposal or project you just finished this week. I've been doing a little research into pocket-sized external hard drives, since I'm coveting one. I'm a laptop user and I like small. These are basically laptop hard drives in a case, so … [Read more...]

FileSlinger™ Backup Reminder 9-26-03: Use Brand-Name CDs!

September 26, 2003 by Sallie Goetsch Leave a Comment

Dear FileSlinger clients, colleagues, and friends: First, go make your backups. Then, if you're interested, come back to this message for your storage media update. Alarmed at last week's news about the unreliability of many no-name CD-Rs, a client asked me to expand on the subject. So I did a little further research, and can now tell you that it isn't just the brand of CD-R that matters, but … [Read more...]

FileSlinger™ Backup Reminder 7-20-03: Have You Backed Up Your Data This Week?

July 20, 2003 by Sallie Goetsch Leave a Comment

Dear FileSlinger clients, colleagues, and friends: Last week one of my clients suggested that I send around a weekly backup reminder to everyone I worked with. This is it. If you don't want to receive it again next week, just send me a message asking me to take you off the list. With viruses proliferating and hard drives crashing left and right, it's more important than ever to make regular … [Read more...]
