| 465518 | 2006-06-24 00:45:00 | Can anyone tell me of a good backup utility that i can use. I have looked around on the net and found a few but not really sure which one to use. If anyone has been using any backup utility and thinks its a really good one than please do let me know. I do not have huge files to backup but just a few hunderd MBs of documents that I work with everyday. Cheers |

And it'll take for ages if you have 200GB of data or above. So GoBack is good enough for me. If you think your computer is secure enough I don't think you need backup softwares. | MTLance (6768) | ||

| 465527 | 2006-06-24 11:38:00 | If you think your computer is secure enough I don't think you need backup softwares . <Whacks MTLance very hard around the ear with handbag> Hopefully that will knock some sense into you because that is one of the most inaccurate and dangerous posts I have seen here for a very long time . You really should be very careful about what "advice" you give to people as you could cause a lot of grief by posting misinformation . :annoyed: Jen, can I auction this handbag off on PF1 now please? :p |
