"Do You Make REGULAR Backups? If You Don't...It Could Cost You"copyright 2002 John EvansOne of the very basic computer 'rules' is to alwaysmake backup copies of your important files.That is not only good advice, it's extremely essential.You've probably heard the saying that it's not IF yourhard drive will crash, but WHEN!But crashing is not the only way to lose files. Whatabout accidently deleting files, and then emptying theRecyle Bin?Suppose you wanted to delete the files on a floppy inyour 'A' drive. Also suppose that you forgot to switchto the 'A' drive before you hit "delete." I hate to admit it, but I've done this TWICE. (Some of us learnthe hard way.) So, I lost everything on the hard drive.Everything...Then, of course, I had to reinstall Windows, and find all the floppies that contained my backup files, and reinstall everything. Very time-consuming.It wasn't too bad at that time, because I had just started fooling around with computers, and didn'thave much on mine. Hadn't even signed up for an online service, yet.But what if my online business had been up and running at that time, and I had no backups...? The second time this happened, I did have backups, butthey were on 1.44mb floppies. A LOT of 1.44mb floppies.Since then, I have switched to a 250mb Zip Drive. And what a difference. When I was using 1.44mb floppies, ittook quite a few just to back up the necessary files.Now, with the 250mb zip floppy, I can back up WHOLEPROGRAMS, and not just the important files.The 250mb floppy holds the equivelant of just over 173of the 1.44 floppies. Talk about saving space.The cost? The 250mb Zip Drive itself can sell for around $150-$200. But the real savings is in the floppydisks, the time saved, and the convenience.A 1.44 floppy disk sells for around 50 cent each, depending on the quantity you buy, and where you buy them. So, 173 would cost you about $86.50. The last zip floppies I bought were $55 for 4, which makes them $13.75 each. Compare $13.75 to $86.50 for the same amount of disk space. A huge saving. And you only have to mess with 1 disk, instead of 173. I love it.But the REAL important thing here is to BACKUP, no matter how you do it, JUST BACKUP.+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++copyright2002 John Evanshttp://www.dailybiz.com/Want to REALLY make money online?
