Backup Solution
I am looking for a backup solution for a couple of (small) companies. I am currently looking at either finding a web based solution or creating my own solution at home. Yes, the better solution would be to have an outside company handle the backup, but they do not want to have big monthly expenses. I currently use Cobian Backup which has everything that I need and is simple to use.
Does anyone have any recommendations?
SyncToy
Yesterday I was looking for Microsoft's Tweak UI for XP and stumbled onto a new (at least to me) tool called SyncToy. There are more power toys some new and old that might be of interest to some. SyncToy caught my interest with having a memory stick that I like to keep files from work and home synchronized on. I also have a need at work to back up files that are only backed up for 30 days, I just lost some documentation that I don't access that often and was deleted more than 30 days ago.. So I plan on using SyncToy and Windos Scheduled Tasks tool to take a backup of these files onto my machine or a different location on the server.
One more thing, there is no registry trail after the tool runs. I installed it on my home machine and copied the files to my memory stick and launched it at work and nothing was ever added to the registry. The only trail is the 'SyncToyData' folder in your 'My Documents' folder where the settings .
My Firefox Extensions
Johan listed his extensions, that I just installed. Here are a couple that I have in addtion:
- del.ico.us: Johan you have been tagged
- Bookmark backup: just what it says and more
- Session Saver: option to save on close, and option to load on open
- Download Statusbar: very nice when downloading multiple files
Just found out that Firefox will show the source of just the part that is selected. Not sure if the is standard feature or is apart of the many extensions that I am using. Regardless, very nice feature.
