The back up at work or the one at home. In the end I had to cull my back ups to make sure I only had the most recent saved.<BR/><BR/>I think I did lose 6 h of my thesis at one point. At least it wasn't the whole thing.Lab Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10984914318577169221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3684895611791698771.post-10919014784333305752007-11-24T14:40:00.000-06:002007-11-24T14:40:00.000-06:00One nice thing about where I teach (and this may b...One nice thing about where I teach (and this may be the case for other schools) is that I have my own space on a server where I can backup my computer. I automatically sync my computer every 4 hours.<BR/><BR/>My main purpose for having an external drive is to store pictures.

But without an automatic backup and independent restoring solutions, is like having the ring chained to the boat and the key thrown to the water.<BR/>From all the solutions I've tried BOS (backup prOxy server) was the most satisfactory. You can give it a try for free, and it is also free for students and home users.<BR/>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3684895611791698771.post-46705541249522653382007-11-23T20:07:00.000-06:002007-11-23T20:07:00.000-06:00Yikes!

It IS Black Friday, though--have you checked around the stores? I decided to skip the traffic and got one off Best Buy's website.Ψ*Ψhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15089754859676425655noreply@blogger.com
