A cousin of a cousin packed up all her photos and a backup of her computer into ice chests when Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans.  She did not take them with her.  Only one ice chest was located weeks later in a tree five blocks away.   Jo === Chahta Ohoyo Holahta, Honorary --- On Fri, 3/20/09, Gina Heffernan <ginagaleh@yahoo.com> wrote: From: Gina Heffernan <ginagaleh@yahoo.com> Subject: Re: [TXGEN] backup solutions To: txgen@rootsweb.com Date: Friday, March 20, 2009, 2:54 PM You can get relatively inexpensive externals. Since we have 2 computers and my husband makes music, I got a "notebook" which is about 160GB. It's about the size of one of those little New Testament Bibles they used to give away at Sunday school. If you don't need that much storage, you can get a "flash drive". You can easily hide it in the palm of your hand. One of my customers bought a 933 GB drive to store 9 GB of photos and videos - that's a little extreme. It's the size of a regular drive. Most important, you have to be careful about the software you use to backup. Most of them come with "sync" software, which doesn't work if you lose a hard drive. Some backup software won't work if you lose a hard drive. It's a security thing that keeps a stranger from finding your backup and putting it onto his PC. The best way to backup is the old fashioned way - copy and paste the folders from one drive to the other. Then put the backup drive somewhere safe. And if something happens to your backup - get a new one right away. Murphy's law says if you lose your backup, you'll lose your original, too. Putting EVERYTHING onto an external is a good idea but then you don't have a backup so you still need to consider that. I've lost everything twice. The second time was not as bad as the first because I'm using webmail these days. It's amazing how much I lost the first time because it was in my Outlook email (including about 2000 cemetery photos). I don't worry so much about physical damage to my computer. If I lose my house, the stuff on my PC will be of little consequence. I store my backup on a shelf above my PC. It's small enough to pick up and run AFTER I get my dogs. I do have a flash drive in my purse with all my genealogy data. Flash drives are cheap these days, you can keep several of them updated.

I use Carbonite. It's about $50 a year, but it really works. Takes a few days for the original backup, but it backs up any new or changed files automatically which is nice because I am sure that I wouldn't remember all of the files that change. > -----Original Message----- > From: txgen-bounces@rootsweb.com > [mailto:txgen-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Elaine > Sent: Friday, March 20, 2009 12:28 PM > To: txgen > Subject: [TXGEN] backup solutions > > Hello fellow TXGenWebers > > I have been looking for a good backup solution for my hard drive. > Heaven forbid I should lose all my county info & TXGenWeb > info in a HD crash.

Elaine, I use the Western Digital "My Book" external drives. I save almost everything to the external drive and very little to the computer. Then, I made a copy of the external drive onto another "My Book" and then put the 2nd "My Book" in my safety deposit box at the bank. Once a month, we go pick it up and add the new material to it and take it back. May seem like a lot of trouble, but I sleep better at night :-) Teri ----- Original Message ----- From: "Elaine" <McStumped@suddenlink.net> To: "txgen" <txgen@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, March 20, 2009 12:27 PM Subject: [TXGEN] backup solutions > Hello fellow TXGenWebers > > I have been looking for a good backup solution for my hard drive. > Heaven forbid I should lose all my county info & TXGenWeb info in a HD > crash.

I currently have a home network with several computers and I use several solutions -- For my Windows XP (x64) system, I use Acronis ( www.acronis.com) with an external disk. This allows for a complete backup (disk image) which allows for the reimaging of my disks or for the replacement of file by file, or selected files. This is not a free program. For my Windows XP Pro (x32), Windows XP Tablet (x32 - windows Tablet 2005), and Vista (x32 & x64) I use a separate computer running Windows Home Server (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/windowshomeserver/defau lt.mspx) -- this will do a daily backup (or any specified period or time) of up to 10 computers on a network.

I have been thinking about needing a backup solution that would give me an option to not have my backup in the same place as the computer. I have a spare old hard drive and I have used it for several years as my backup for everything. Then a good friend lost her computer & her backup hard drive in a home theft. This got me to thinking I could lose all mine to theft, fire, water damage, tornado, etc. Thus my quest to find another solution. If I can back up everything on a CD, DVD, or portable USB drive I could keep it anywhere away from home. Also if I could ftp it onto a web based storage or server, then I could have a real fail safe solution by having it in 2 places. I figure if I back up every 3 months on average, then I would not lose a large amount of info.

You can get relatively inexpensive externals. Since we have 2 computers and my husband makes music, I got a "notebook" which is about 160GB. It's about the size of one of those little New Testament Bibles they used to give away at Sunday school. If you don't need that much storage, you can get a "flash drive". You can easily hide it in the palm of your hand. One of my customers bought a 933 GB drive to store 9 GB of photos and videos - that's a little extreme. It's the size of a regular drive. Most important, you have to be careful about the software you use to backup. Most of them come with "sync" software, which doesn't work if you lose a hard drive. Some backup software won't work if you lose a hard drive. It's a security thing that keeps a stranger from finding your backup and putting it onto his PC. The best way to backup is the old fashioned way - copy and paste the folders from one drive to the other. Then put the backup drive somewhere safe. And if something happens to your backup - get a new one right away. Murphy's law says if you lose your backup, you'll lose your original, too. Putting EVERYTHING onto an external is a good idea but then you don't have a backup so you still need to consider that. I've lost everything twice. The second time was not as bad as the first because I'm using webmail these days. It's amazing how much I lost the first time because it was in my Outlook email (including about 2000 cemetery photos). I don't worry so much about physical damage to my computer. If I lose my house, the stuff on my PC will be of little consequence. I store my backup on a shelf above my PC. It's small enough to pick up and run AFTER I get my dogs. I do have a flash drive in my purse with all my genealogy data. Flash drives are cheap these days, you can keep several of them updated.

It will backup your critical data to virtually any type of storage media including CD, DVD, Blu-ray and remote FTP servers. Works on Windows Vista/2008 2000/XP/2003 #2 COMODO <http://backup.comodo.com/> (free) - backup files or folders anywhere on your computer, network, DVD-RW, CD-RW or FTP server. Works on Windows Vista/Windows XP (Service Pack 1 or later)/Windows 2000 (Service Pack 3 or later) For MAC users: #3 Time Machine <http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/timemachine.html> (free) - It is built into Mac OS X. It keeps an up-to-date copy of everything on your Mac --- digital photos, music, movies, TV shows, and documents. Then there are some good online backup offers that are free. One of the most well known online backup services that still offers free accounts is Mozy's Free Backup Service <http://mozy.com/> - offers you 2 GB of storage space. Compatible with Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Vista, as well as Mac OS X 10.4 and higher. Another free online backup service is iDrive <http://www.idrive.com/>. - offers you 2 GB of storage space. You have access to automatic and manual backup options, true archiving, versioning, mapped drive backup, continuous backup options and web-based backup management options. Works for both Mac and Windows users. Hope this helps some of you save your info if you should, heaven forbid, have a system crash.
