[DXBase] Backup Of Log Data

2003年11月14日 09:58:01 EST

A lot of suggestions have flowed over the reflector relating to backing up 
our log data in DXBase and many great ideas have been presented. I wanted to 
share a couple of thoughts on backing up our data externally to our personal 
computers which many already do.
Logbook of the World by the ARRL presents a good way to back up our data "off 
site". LoTW is new and will no doubt evolve into an outstanding service over 
time. Once we load our ADIF log information into LoTW we at least have one 
external source of back up information. (www.arrl.org/lotw)
<A HREF="www.arrl.org/lotw">LoTW</A>
Another excellent "backup" source is the eQSL system located at <A HREF="www.eqsl.cc/">www.eqsl.cc/</A> 
. Log data is maintained in multiple ways at eQSL and is easily accessed in 
multiple ways by call sign, date, band, etc. 
In event of a catastrophic fire or something at home where I would loose all 
back up copies of DXBase data, I find comfort knowing that LoTW and eQSL off 
site back ups do exist and I try to submit my lot information to both weekly.
Just a thought.
