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...]

Give the Gift of Backups: FileSlinger™ Backup Reminder 11-24-06

November 24, 2006 by Sallie Goetsch 1 Comment

It’s the day after Thanksgiving and one of the biggest Christmas-shopping days in the U.S. That means it’s time to start giving the gift of backup. This past Monday, the author of the Securosis blog recommended computer backup systems as “The best gift for non-geeks that isn’t on their list (and they won’t appreciate, but really need.” This followed a post from November 16th about why backups are … [Read more...]

The Case of the Self-Destructing Database: FileSlinger™ Backup Reminder 12-9-05:

December 9, 2005 by Sallie Goetsch Leave a Comment

Just to prove that Mac users can have computer disasters too, here is the story of how a colleague lost his Entourage database (and a chunk of money) but gained liberation.

I was using Entourage X (part of Office X for the Mac) and its upper limit for its … [Read more...]

FileSlinger™ Backup Reminder 5-20-05: Retrospect 7 vs. TrueImage 8 (and let’s not forget Ghost 9)

May 20, 2005 by Sallie Goetsch Leave a Comment

(Note: this post is late (and back-dated) because I was out of town over the weekend for my 20-year high school reunion and my mother is the only person in the country without an internet connection. Those of you subscribed to the e-mail list got your newsletter on time, though.) Last week I promised to check out TrueImage and Retrospect for those who don’t want to go the Bart-PE route of … [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...]
