Back Up Your Contacts

November 6, 2009 by Sallie Goetsch Leave a Comment

My in-flight reading for last week’s trip to Cleveland was Trust Agents: Using the Web to Build Influence, Improve Reputation, and Earn Trust by Chris Brogan and Julien Smith. (Yes, oh FTC inspectors, that’s an Amazon Affiliate Link.) I don’t buy hardcover books by just anyone, but I’m a big fan of Chris Brogan’s, and increasingly impressed by what I hear of Julien Smith on the Media Hacks … [Read more...]

Fireproof Backups

June 14, 2009 by Sallie Goetsch Leave a Comment

Making your hard drives more secure seems to be the trendy thing to do these days. Within the past couple of months, I've been contacted about two similar products for protecting your external hard drives from fire and water—not to mention spilled coffee. I haven’t had the chance to test either product myself, so I can’t give you a firsthand account, but it seemed worth mentioning them in case … [Read more...]

Backing Up Social Networks, Part 2: FileSlinger™ Backup Reminder 03-28-08

March 28, 2008 by Sallie Goetsch Leave a Comment

This week I'm going to start by talking about Flickr, a popular photo-sharing service that doubles as a social network. I don't post photos to Flickr myself, but the Ur-Guru does. (Yes, lots of them are pictures of me. What did you … [Read more...]

Backing Up Social Networks, Part 1: FileSlinger™ Backup Reminder 03-21-08

March 21, 2008 by Sallie Goetsch Leave a Comment

I've been using del.icio.us profligately in the last six months or so. It's a handy way to keep track of things I want to read, and things I want other people to read. But it suddenly occurred to me yesterday that whereas my Firefox bookmarks get backed up along with the rest of my critical data thanks to Karen’s Replicator, I had no backup of my del.icio.us bookmarks. It turns out that it's just … [Read more...]

How do YOU Back up Your Computer? FileSlinger™ Backup Reminder 12-28-07

December 28, 2007 by Sallie Goetsch 4 Comments

Here it is the end of another year of backups—almost time to make those special year-end copies of your important data to store with your tax records. I thought I’d do something a bit different for today’s column, so I put a question out to my LinkedIn network asking the people I know what they do for backups. (And no, this is not what “networked backups” means.) Most of the answers came as … [Read more...]
