I am Back Up, Backed Up
It's Wednesday afternoon and I am back up, restored and backed up. Last Monday was bad. Really bad. Dell shipped a new hard drive overnight and I have spent two days installing and re-configuring. Guess what!? I have two new applications running on my laptop: Acronis True Image 6.0 and HandyBackup. With Acronis True Image 6.0 I have been able to backup the entire drive as an image, and will continue to do so once a month. HandyBackup is scheduled to run daily to back up incremental changes of my data.
Kids. If you haven't backed up your data, back up your data. No kidding.

I've never heard of HandyBackup. I've always used Ghost. So with HandyBackup can you restore a hard drive with out having to re-install your OS first and loading their software? Thats what I like about Ghost. I just have a bootable CD and it images my hard drive to a second removable hard drive I have.

Mirror Folder
For what it's worth, I recommend MirrorFolder 2.0 which has worked very well for us. It is different in that it runs at the driver level and does real-time backup of folders or whole drives as you work, with limited performance impact. And it's quite cheap, too. We've been pleased with it.

Does the MirrorFolder program create a restorable disk? Can I restore totally from that image?
That is what I am looking for. Something I can do a TOTAL restore from a total format.
It would be nice if I could also do incremental updates etc....
Any advice?
Thanks
Thanos

I do a backup only once a year, which is really, really, really stupid. Manual back-upping is a pain and those automaticated utilities cost too much.
But then again when your work is lost, those few hundred euros you should've used on backing up don't seem that big sum of money after all. :cry:

If you mirrored the entire disk, the backup disk is identical to your original, so you could just switch to that one if the primary disk fails.

Good backup program for PPC?
Does anyone have any suggestions for a good back up program for the PPC? I have used the one that comes with PPC but it is limited and it doesn't restore all the phone settings as far as speed dial, internet connection setup, etc.
It just restores programs and files.
This way.... a hard reset won't take a whole day to get your PPC back in shape.
Suggestions? :?:
