Re: [CGUYS] Backup App for PC
Don't know what the Mac programs really are, but for backing up data files (not for cloning / imaging a hard drive) Karen's Replicator (http://www.karenware.com/) is good for small and medium jobs and is free. For large jobs, SyncBackSE (http://www.2brightsparks.com/) is more efficient and will take less time to perform a job.

Re: [CGUYS] More Dell Quirks
Sometimes you can adjust a screw or something. Often, the fan is encased in plastic so that you don't really have access to it. In that case, replacing the fan will reduce the vibration enough to minimize the noise. We had this problem with one of our Pro Macs several years ago. I stuck a plactic fork into the fan. The noise stopped. It has been hapilly operating fanless for several years now. YMMV. * == QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in == * == the body of an email send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] == * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?

Re: [CGUYS] More Dell Quirks
Had this (vibration) happen with a few Dells. The causes vary (misaligned/mis-seated fan is one of them), but here are some things that worked: 1. Put the Dell on a soft surface, rather than a hard desktop. A rubber pad worked fine. This is for those times when a small vibration in the computer gets amplified by the desk. 2. Put the little rubber feet on the bottom of the case. Some cases ship without the feet (specially true of servers that may be rack-mounted). 3. Checked to see that the cover was properly seated. Got a new Dell, and the cover was not seated properly. Opened it up and reseated it (checked all cards, fans, etc., while I had the case open, to see if anything was loose). 4. In a much-older machine (about 10 years ago), had enough play in the case (too loose) that the top of it vibrated. A book would calm the noise, but the final fix was to double up a broad rubber band and stick one under the top (front and back). On another note: Someone mentioned a jet-engine-like fan noise in another email. Had that happen with our brand new Dell server (has about 8 fans!). The thing would sound like it was ready for take-off very quickly after we turned it on (this thing has 10 hard drives and very little internal space that is not taken up by a fan, so it would heat up in 1 min). Ran the diagnostics and one fan showed up with zero revs. Opened the case. The fan was not plugged in. Plugged it in and peace reigned. Now I have to put my ear to the machine to even hear the fans above the standard office background noises. Lesson learned: one missing fan caused at least two other fans to rev-up, indicating that this machine (a) generates heat, and (b) is going to need all those fans. Therefore, have set it up for auto shut down if there is a fan failure. Fortunately, we are a small office (~15 people), and, except for a master database which doesn't need to be online 24-7, most operations can be done on local machines, so bringing down a server for a day or so is not a huge problem.
