Rebit 5: Better Than Ever, but Not Quite as “Ridiculously Simple”

April 1, 2011 by Sallie Goetsch Leave a Comment

I received my new Rebit 5 device, a charmingly slim, black 500 GB portable hard drive, on March 21st. (There was a time when Rebit wanted  to get away from selling hardware, but that idea seems to have fallen by the wayside.) The first time I tested a Rebit drive, the software was pre-installed on the drive. Also the second time. And the third time, with the SaveMe drive I got for my mother. … [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...]

New Computer = New Backups

July 13, 2010 by Sallie Goetsch Leave a Comment

At the beginning of June, I got a new computer. It was high time: Enna is more than four years old now, and she’s pretty sluggish, and Windows XP is getting just a tiny bit outdated, though I preferred it to Vista. The new machine is a thing of beauty: a 17.3” ASUS G72GX with 6 GB RAM and a bunch of other drool-inspiring specs, plus flash gamer details like a backlit keyboard (the Ur-Guru … [Read more...]

Catching Up on Backups

July 3, 2010 by Sallie Goetsch Leave a Comment

Well, this is embarrassing. The last time I wrote my so-called weekly column was more than a month ago. And, believe me, it’s not because nothing has been happening in the world of backups. Life got just a bit out of hand and blogging slipped down the priority list. But now the Ur-Guru has gone home, the cats have settled in, the housemate situation is more or less sorted out, and I really have … [Read more...]

Dmailer Launches Free Online Backup Service to Compete with Mozy—But Not Without a Hitch

April 2, 2010 by Sallie Goetsch Leave a Comment

A couple of weeks ago a representative of Dmailer contacted me with information about their forthcoming, still-under-embargo release of a free version of their software that would also include 2 GB of free online storage. Because I have a bit of editorial backlog on this blog, it was not difficult to keep this news under wraps until after the official March 23rd announcement. Dmailer is a French … [Read more...]
