Where do I need to back it up to? I’m just going to guess that you don’t have a tape backup drive, you may not even have an optical drive. But, if you do, there is nothing wrong with keeping a backup, or more, on a disc. I don’t think I would do things that way, older technology slows the process down a lot. Some broadband connection has enough upstream bandwidth to backup data through...
What do I need to back up? You will need to know what you would want/need backed up before you can know how you should best be backing up. You have the choice, there is no right or wrong choice here, but I would recommend protecting anything you may want or things you can’t re-create like; tax and business stuff, anything that you have scanned and destroyed the hard copies), things that your kids drew...
What is the ultimate rule??? There is three basis rules making sure you have everything backed up. To lower the risk of loss data, you should have three copies of the files and things you don’t want to loss: the original copy (that flies that you have on your computer already), a backup of that original, and a backup of the backup (so that you will have two).

How it works? A ransomware attack will go through five stages from the time it is installed on your computer, until you see the warning on your computer screen. Step One: INSTALLATION – After a victim’s computer is infected, the ransomware will installs itself, and sets keys in the Windows Registry to start automatically every time your computer boots up or restarts.

Where is Ransomware? Ransomware can be found everywhere. We thought that the well known file-encrypting ransomware, as known as CryptoLocker, was over and done with after law enforcement knocked out its infrastructure last year, but CryptoLocker , as well as other variations of malware, are back. Ransomware is a form of malware that will prevent you from having access to your files and even your computer. Then, it attempts to extort money from you in...
Do you spend any time in a chair like me? I am a software developer and small business owner, so I can spend 20 hours in a chair some days non-stop, multiple days in a row even, but always spend some significant amount of time in a chair 7 days a week, 12 months a year. If you are even remotely a chair warrior as part of your daily routine, then read this! The Chair:...
I started looking into Crashplan for online backup a few months ago, and was very impressed with the backup software and options. Not only has it saved my bacon once (as backups should do,) but after a format/reload on my main PC and not having to setup my backup again, I’m hooked. While the primary focus of Crashplan is the online backup to their cloud, I realize that option isn’t for everyone, but never fear,...
I’ve had this annoying issue on (only one of) my Windows 8 machines, and that is the hot corners on the left side were not working. Is that what you call them, ‘hot corners’??
