Backup your System

Tuesday, January 10th, 2006

I know, you don’t need to be reminded of this, you diligently backup your system at least…when you remember. Ok, so you need some help, admitting it is the first step. I’ve selected some products to help you out.

Software:
EMC Retrospect

Retrospect is a great little app that helps you backup the files that have changed and not waste time with the ones that haven’t. It can automatically run at scheduled times and runs on both Mac and Windows. If you have a workgroup there are server versions available.

Hardware (Workgroup):

Exabyte

Exabyte still makes the most reliable tape drives with its VXA technology. Just choose the storage size that is appropriate to you.

Hardware (Computer or Workgroup):

LaCie

LaCie makes great external hard drives. Again, choose the size that is appropriate for you and that is you backup.
