number of digital files for my genealogy research or enter a lot of data into my genealogy database.\u00a0 And nine times out of ten, I only back up my genealogy folder, since it\u2019s the main thing that gets the most action on my computer (and that in and of itself takes forever).\u00a0 This is certainly not a good practice.\u00a0 In fact, I\u2019ve spent the better part of this week adding all sorts of digital files and database entries, and have yet to back it all up!\u00a0 The GeneaBloggers Data Backup Day post reminded me.\u00a0 Again, this is not a good system to follow.<\/p>\n<p>So after reading the GeneaBlogger post and taking a look at the product they\u2019re giving away, I thought I\u2019d write up an article so I could be entered to win, because clearly, I need a better way of backing up data then my current manual \u201cif I remember\u201d system.\u00a0 And to be honest, even if I don\u2019t win it, I think I\u2019ll head on over and buy it.\u00a0 There are a few things that got my attention, one being that you can set it to back up automatically AND you don\u2019t have to be logged on.\u00a0 The other thing was that it backs up Outlook, which is something I almost never back up (unless I\u2019m switching computers or, in my current case, upgrading my OS\u2014yes, I\u2019m moving to Win 7\u2014wish me luck!).<\/p>\n<p>There you have it\u2026my current backup method, and my near-future backup method.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Data Backup Day is November 1st, and to celebrate, GeneaBloggers is giving away three copies of Handy
