I am an IT person and use raid 1 here at home on 3 systems as well as do my own backups. A good cheap usb drive used as a backup is a really good solution. I run a small homebased computer business and when clients crash and burn I set them up an external drive as a backup or install a second drive in the desktop and schedule full backups on weekends and incrementals during the week. Using an online service is o..k but they just let u store files and such. It takes a long time to do a full backup image of a drive and that is the best and fastest way to recover in a failure. Especially since you really can't backup installed software and expect them to run. Full backups or drive imaging is the fastest and easiest failure recovery solution. The newer backup and recovery software out there is quite easy for the average user to operate. Symantec backup exec is not real cheap but about anyone can use it. If I can show a blond woman doctor how to use it in one session remotely then About anyone should be able to manage.
Just my thoughts guys W4NCS-Frank _______________________________________________ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flexradio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flexradio.com/
