[Dxbase] Backups/Raid ETC

Tue Feb 13 09:10:08 EST 2007

All the suggestions here are good and should be foillowed.
They are all good data process procedures.
I go a step further. WHile doing file backups during "Normal" operation, 
usally weekly or so,
I take an extra step before contests and before installing new or upgrading 
software.
I brought a 300Gb external hard drive. It's a USB interface, so it's easy to 
hooked when I need to use it.
I also purchased a Backup package that allows me to do "Image Copies"
Before an upgrade or fresh install, I make an image of the "C" drive to the 
external drive.
Now if something went wrong all I have to do is restore the image and Iright 
back to full operation just as I was before the install.
Takes about 10 mintues and I'm done, except for trying to figure out whata 
went wrong.
