Revelations from a Reinstall: FileSlinger(TM) Backup Reminder 11-23-07

November 26, 2007 by Sallie Goetsch Leave a Comment

No, I was not sleeping off Thanksgiving overindulgence instead of writing this backup reminder on Friday morning. I was just absorbed in completing my delayed-and-necessary reinstall before heading to work. I thought a late reminder would be better than none, and now that I'm finished with all but those last little tweaks that drag on for a week or two, I can pass on the backup-related lessons … [Read more...]

Test-Driving the (Maxtor OneTouch) Mini: FileSlinger™ Backup Reminder 10-19-07

October 21, 2007 by Sallie Goetsch 1 Comment

Yes, I'm two days late with this. Friday morning we were in Dunsmuir. It was raining so hard you couldn't even see Mount Shasta, the Ur-Guru was in an evil mood because of the weather, and we were facing a long drive across the mountains to Eureka to meet my long-lost cousin and his family. So I had just about time to back up the computer to my new Maxtor OneTouch Mini drive, and no time to write … [Read more...]

I Need a Backup Blogger: FileSlinger™ Backup Reminder 10-06-07

October 5, 2007 by Sallie Goetsch Leave a Comment

Okay, be honest: who forgot to back up last week? Anyone? That's the "Does anyone actually need me?" question. Because if you've all got your backups automated by now, does it matter whether I actually write this reminder? Do people even notice if I don't produce one? Not that I'm trying to let myself off the hook for not producing a post last week, mind you, but no one on my … [Read more...]

The Shortest Post Since 2003: FileSlinger™ Backup Reminder 09-07-07

September 7, 2007 by Sallie Goetsch Leave a Comment

It's 4:20 PM and I've had some very long days this week, with more to follow next week. Somewhere in there I did manage to make a Ghost backup of my system, the first in a long time. (It's getting time—and past time—to do a hygienic reinstall of Enna, though I don't know whether I'll manage it before the Ur-Guru arrives next weekend.) Meanwhile, my five automated file backup systems continue to … [Read more...]

There Are No Guarantees: FileSlinger™ Backup Reminder 02-16-07

February 16, 2007 by Sallie Goetsch Leave a Comment

This week’s InfoWorld GripeLine addresses the lack of warranties from online backup providers. A careful consumer went out to compare the license agreements from several services, including Mozy, which I’ve been using for a while, and Iron Mountain, which now owns LiveVault of the John Cleese Backup Trauma Institute videos. The results of this investigation prompted a long letter to GripeLine and … [Read more...]
