How Long Does Your Time Capsule Have to Live?

March 6, 2010 by Sallie Goetsch Leave a Comment

A few weeks ago I got an e-mail from my stepmother, who converted to Mac some years ago when she left the corporate world. As I wrote back in November, she brought my father into the Apple fold after his retirement. For the most part, they are very happy with their Macs, but sometimes trouble rears its ugly head in paradise. Though Macs are well-constructed pieces of hardware, they’re not immune … [Read more...]

Plugged into the Cloud with CTERA

December 22, 2009 by Sallie Goetsch Leave a Comment

The first time I saw an announcement for the CTERA CloudPlug, I was puzzled. “Cloud-Attached Storage” is a catchy phrase, but what did it mean? Could I just plug the device into a wall socket, connect it to my computer, and send my data into the cloud? So naturally when CTERA’s PR agency offered me a chance to examine the CloudPlug, and interview a representative of the company, I said yes. … [Read more...]

A Backup Plan for Ricardo and Amigo Audio

January 3, 2009 by Sallie Goetsch Leave a Comment

Backups—and the consequences of not backing up—have appeared twice in as many weeks on my favorite podcast, For Immediate Release. First my Podcast Asylum colleague and fellow FIR correspondent Lee Hopkins reported on a hard drive meltdown, and then frequent commenter Ricardo from Amigo Audio in Costa Rica called in with a request for tips on developing a backup plan.

Tracey’s Time Capsule Story: FileSlinger™ Backup Reminder 09-19-08

September 19, 2008 by Sallie Goetsch Leave a Comment

This week’s Backup Reminder comes to us from Tracey Franks of Words and Money. Like me, Tracey is a professional writer. Unlike me, she’s an expert on finance. She’s also a Mac user—a recent convert. Since I know that some of my most loyal readers have Macs, I like to include Mac-backup stories whenever I can. And since I have about a zillion things to do before my mother arrives tomorrow, I’m … [Read more...]
