How to Backup Your Computer Data?

Eventually, everyone faces a data disaster. Are you ready? Unless all of your electronic files are expendable, you should be making backup copies of your most important data on a regular basis.

"Your backup is as important as your data and your time--because that's what it's going to cost you if you lose it," says Cheryl Frogley-Rawson, an IT consultant with Helpin' Out, a computer support company for small businesses and individuals. "Even if you have hard copies, it's going to cost you time to enter the information again."

·Back up regularly, back up often. It is important that you get into the habit of backing up your files on a regular basis. Just having things stored on your hard drive is not enough. A computer crash, a virus, or a hard drive failure can wipe out everything. Don't make this simple mistake! Back up everything at least once a week. Daily is better. If you use your computer daily, it is best to back up important files daily and other data weekly. At the absolute minimum, back up your files monthly.

How to Backup Your Computer Data?

·Keep several backup copies. Never back up over a prior backup copy - keep several copies over time so that you can back up more than one version if necessary. Remember, a problem that is backed up will remain a problem when restored!

·Be selective. You don't have to do a total system backup. In fact, why waste your time backing up all those executable program files when you can easily re-install them from the original media in case of a problem. Just back up your important files. Backing up the entire hard drive is time-consuming, not practical, and should not be done. A backup of specific data files is the way to go.

·Know what's really important. The most important things to copy are files you create yourself. Be they text documents, e-mail messages, pictures, or game saves, if you made them, be sure to keep their current backup handy. Beyond that, it's helpful to back up the configuration settings for any programs you use, along with critical Windows data such as the registry.

·Organize your folders. Backing up is easy if you set your folder structure properly. It's faster and easier to back up if all your files and subfolders are in a single folder, rather than having your documents scattered across the hard drive. The My Documents folder is a good place to store files on any Windows computer. When all your personal files are in one place you are less likely to forget a file when you back up. Organization can be the key.

·Use backup software to automate your everyday backup tasks. You don't have to copy your files manually. You can accidentally omit something, or simply make a mistake. A decent backup program creates the backup of your data reliably and automatically, and it will notify you in case of any problem, and will log the backup activity in detail. In addition, there are a lot more useful features, all usually for a very low price.

How to Uninstall & Remove Ask Toolbar From Windows XP and Vista

Do you want to remove the Ask Toolbar from your computer completely? The Ask Toolbar is a free browser add-on that allows you to search the Web using the Ask search engine directly from Internet Explorer or FireFox browsers. But, to unisntall the Ask Toolbar can be pretty tough sometimes.

You may want to completely remove the Ask Toolbar for one reason or another, and to do so is fairly simple:

Remove Ask Toolbar On Windows XP:

How to Uninstall & Remove Ask Toolbar From Windows XP and Vista

1. Close all open Web browsers
2. From the "Start" menu in Windows, select "Control Panel"
3. Select "Add/Remove Programs"
4. Select the program with the Ask logo and the text "Ask Toolbar" (or our partner's brand for a custom Toolbar)
5. Click "Change/Remove"

Remove Ask Toolbar On Windows Vista:

1. Close all open Web browsers
2. From the "Start" menu in Windows, select "Control Panel"
3. Under the "Programs" icon, select "Uninstall a program"
4. Select the program with the Ask logo and the text "Ask Toolbar" (or our partner's brand for a custom Toolbar)
5. Click "Uninstall" and then "Continue" to remove the Toolbar

If you reopen your Web browser and still see the Toolbar, you may need to restart your computer for the uninstall process to be completed.

This is exactly how you can easily, quickly and safely remove the Ask Toolbar from your computer.

But when I search it still goes to the official Ask website...

Sometimes it is a little more involved to completely remove the ask toolbar. You may find that even though you followed the procedure outlined above, every time you do a search, with say FireFox, it still seem to go to Ask.com where as you may prefer another search engine such as Google. So what do you do?

Consider an Uninstaller Software

This may be where it is time to consider trying a useful utility program such as Perfect Uninstaller. Not only will this correct issues like left over programs and allow you to remove add-ons etc, but it also has the added benefit of being able to clean up registry values and / or dlls which may have been associated with programs that you thought you completely uninstalled (but, as it turns out did not quite do so!)

Why is it best to consider using such a program:

o Many programs, when installed, may change your system in some fashion or the other to improve that particular program's performance while not caring about your overall computer performance.

o Sometimes these programs have updates, but they update the main components without consideration of being able to uninstall the whole program. Which means that when an uninstall is done, these additional pieces may still be left 'hanging'.

o Some uninstallers without some sort of 'logging' module are not able to completely uninstall programs. Furthermore, it can cause risks to your PC.

o Add-ons, Spyware or more that are intentionally installed into your computer by bundling itself to a normal program without the related uninstall files.

Why don't you take a look at a great uninstaller? Visit: Perfect Uninstaller

'SMART - Status Bad - Backup and Replace' Hard Disk Error and Recovery

Physical hard disk failure refers to the condition in which data stored in the system becomes inaccessible due to hard disk malfunction. A hard disk is comprised of several mechanical and electronic components. But when these components get affected due to external factors like high intensity magnetic waves, sharp impact, temperature, water or fire, they get physically failed. Also, internal issues like wear and tear, low material quality and poor composition cause hard drive failure. In such cases, Hard Disk Recovery service can come to rescue and recover all lost data.

Hard drive failure is not instant in some cases. The modern hard drives come with an advanced technology known as S.M.A.R.T. (Self Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology). It is a proactive warning system that monitors the hard drive health on the basis of certain parameters and generates reports and warning messages on finding any fault. These parameters are sometimes denoted as hard disk reliability factors, such as temperature, excessive bad sectors etc. So, if a hard drive is anticipated to fail, SMART gives error message as:

"Pri master hard disk: S.M.A.R.T. Status Bad, backup and replace"

'SMART - Status Bad - Backup and Replace' Hard Disk Error and Recovery

Explanation

By master hard disk, error refers to the one, which is being primarily used by computer system to store data. The above warning suggests that users are required to immediately backup all data and replace the failing hard drive with a new one. Hard drives may go bad due to mechanical component failure, electronic faults or firmware corruption.

But in most of the cases related to physical failure, users may need to opt for Data Recovery service to recover their lost files. It can occur due to two basic reasons:

o Backup failure
o Ignoring the S.M.A.R.T error message

Hard Disk Recovery Service

It is a specialized component level service provided by recovery experts to recover data from physically failed hard drives. The processes involved in Hard Disk Recovery start with detailed analysis of the failed hard drive and chalk out suitable recovery procedures accordingly. A physically failed hard drive gets dismantled in sterile lab environments of Clean Rooms and technical procedures like repairing or replacing disk internals, disk cloning, shifting the platters etc. are applied. Data Recovery service experts can recover data in all cases of failures including those which S.M.A.R.T. can't detect.

Stellar Information Systems Limited offers industry's leading Hard Disk Recovery service through Class-100 Clean Rooms. We have been providing recovery service from more than 16 years. The advanced recovery service is provided for almost all makes and models of hard drives as SCSI, SATA, EIDE and IDE including server hard drives and SSDs (Solid State Drives).

How To Set Up A TV Satellite Dish And Sky Digibox To Watch English Channels Such As BBC And ITV

Hardware Requirements:

I am assuming that you have the necessary equipment as detailed in my previous article about 'How to get the equipment to watch English TV in Europe'.

You need:

How To Set Up A TV Satellite Dish And Sky Digibox To Watch English Channels Such As BBC And ITV

A TV (preferably one with a SCART socket)
An ex-rental Sky Digibox that has already been used in the UK
A dish of the appropriate size (see my earlier article and astra2d.com for a size guide) with LNB
Co-ax cable
A Sky viewing card or Freeview card
Necessary fixings to mount the dish
Mounting the dish

The satellite we are looking for is Astra 2D 28.2E. This located at 28.2 degrees East of South. Let me tell you why setting up the angle and elevation is very important and has to be done very carefully. Astra 2D is in a geostationary orbit, which means it appears to be stationary when seen from the rotating earth.. The normal height for a geostationary satellite is 36,000Km and the satellite is only 8m tall and just over 2m diameter, it actually looks like a tin of baked beans with the lid open! So the alignment of the dish has to be done very accurately.

I cannot help you too much with the exact angles you need as they vary depending on your location. Here in the Southern French Alps a compass bearing of 150 degrees with an elevation of 34 degrees are the figures required. In Bucharest in Romania a bearing of 177 degrees and an elevation of 39 degrees would be required. Looking on the internet, particularly on ex pat web sites for your area, will normally reveal the magic numbers.

So mount your dish where you like, it does not need to be on the roof as it does not work like an aerial. It just needs a clear path between it and the satellite, no trees or buildings. The steepness of the angle surprises a lot of people, in the type of dish where the LNB is supported on an arm attached to the bottom of the dish, the 'beam' angle we are interested in is roughly parallel to that arm. Set the elevation to the correct value and leave the bracket slightly loose so that you can turn the dish from side to side. Using a compass, point the dish at a compass bearing you have (150 in my case). You will not get it right first time, but the closer you are, the less danger of finding the wrong satellite there is.

Getting it all working

Now, connect the dish to the box an the box to the TV and switch on the power.

Warning: The dish cable carries a small electric current, so never connect or disconnect it while the box is live; otherwise some of the electronic components could be damaged

Do not worry if the remote control does not react immediately - after switching on the power the Digibox can take several seconds before it will respond. On the remote control, press Services, then press 4, then 6. This will display a Signal Test screen. Ignore the Signal Strength and Signal Quality bars for the moment. You should however have something in the Signal Strength bar. (If you do not, you have a faulty connection on the way to the LNB).

Place the TV where it can be seen while manipulating the dish, move the dish until the zeros change to 0002 (Network ID) and 07d4 (Transport Stream). The change will be quite sudden so go carefully to avoid swinging the dish too far. The Lock Indicator will also change from 'Not locked' to 'OK'. The value of 07d4 is usually the case but you might encounter others, particularly if you are trying to get a signal in southern Europe. However the Network ID must be 0002, otherwise you are pointing at the wrong satellite.

Finishing off the setup

As soon as the Network ID and Transport Stream values change from zero, a digital signal is being received. Clamp the dish, then press the Backup button on the remote control 3 times to return to the normal screen. Now wait until the box has finished getting the program data.

If after aligning the dish, you get a signal but there is interference on sound or vision, it is almost certainly caused by the dish elevation or direction being slightly out of alignment. Move the dish very slightly and carefully and watch the Signal Quality bar on the Signal Test screen for the greatest value. Anything over about 50% should give good reception.

Review of LiveDrive Online Backup, Storage and Sync

Overview and History
LiveDrive is financed by Andrew Michael. Andrew founded Fasthosts Internet Limited, The United Kingdom's premier and most successful Internet service provider which was sold in 2006 for in excess of 0m. Andrew commented: "Online storage is the future. Lots of companies are trying to do it today but the products are crap and not a replacement for traditional storage methods. LiveDrive has been over two years in the making and will be the standard by which all competing products are judged". LiveDrive offers two options: LiveDrive Backup and LiveDrive Briefcase (Pro). The Backup edition can backup of unlimited online devices and an unlimited quantity of files. The Briefcase or Pro edition retains all the features of the Backup version but also gives sharing and synchronization of data from unlimited online devices.

Feature Set
Security
LiveDrive uses 128bit SSL encoding to their web site along with password protection for your account. Information transfer to and from the servers is protected by 256bit AES encoding - the most secure protection we have found for file transfers. When on their servers, your data is protected with 256 AES encryption (that's military grade) and you can setup your own private key to manage the encryption if you wish. Physically, your data is stored on state of the art servers in geographically separated data centers. These were originally only in the UK, however, since expanding their service to other global regions, they have also widened their network of data centers which makes your data more secure.

Backup Features
One of the most notable features of LiveDrive Backup is that it is really unlimited. While using LiveDrive we have backed up many terabytes of data. Putting files on the backup schedule is as straightforward as right-clicking the file or folder and choosing 'add to backup' via the LiveDrive submenu. When added to the archive schedule, files are examined for amendments and scheduled for archiving as and when they are amended. File versioning is automatically enabled on any files within the backup set and are permitted up to thirty copies of an individual file. Open files will also backed up on a regular basis and because of the 'block level incrementation' technology just the amended bits of files are uploaded and these are then used to create a new version of the file. This method massively reduces the amount of information that must be uploaded. Network drives and removable devices such as pen drives or other plug-and-play products can also be backed up. A progress indicator is included status messages so you know what is being backed up and what is awaiting to be transmitted.

Review of LiveDrive Online Backup, Storage and Sync

Restore Features
You are allowed to restore up to 30 different editions of any file that has been archived by entering the web site, selecting the file you wish to restore and selecting the edition of the file by means of date and time. When selected simply decide where you would like the file restored to and the portal will start the restore process. separate upload and download throttling controls in the desktop client but no processor controls. Socks Proxy servers can be setup which is useful if you are in a public environment and can only access the internet via a proxy server. You can also set priorities of types of files, emagine if you are gradually uploading your entire music collection, you should configure office docs and other file types ahead of video files so that your more vital data is backed up more quickly.

Interface
LiveDrive blends extremely well with the desktop on PC and MAC. It gives a system tray icon to permit quick access to information and option screens. The web site is extremely easy to navigate and use. There are many collaboration, file sharing and synchronization options available in the pro version of LiveDrive which is called Briefcase. Devices do need the client software installed to run LiveDrive but this is a simple and straightforward process that takes a few minutes to download and setup.

Device Support
Currently LiveDrive supports Microsoft Windows - XP, Vista and Seven; MAC OS 10.5+; iPhone OS 3.0+; Blackberry and any online-enabled toy via the web portal.

Limitations
None found so far.

Collaboration and Synchronization
If you go for the Pro or Briefcase version of LiveDrive then you get a greate set of collaboration and synchronization tools added to your unlimited online backup solution. When you turn on the Briefcase option a virtual drive is created on each PC (or MAC) enabling you to store all your shared files. Initially the drive letter it L: however this can be changed via the client software. Any file that is moved or copied to this logical drive is copied to the web site and from there to all other devices that have the briefcase feature in use and are setup for the same LiveDrive Account. File conflicts are configurable and can be set to carry out an automatic option of your choosing or to ask what to do with each issue. There is also a beta feature called 'LAN synching' which allows devices on the same network (for instance you may have a MAC, notebook and Blackberry all using the same router) to sync data inside your network instead of sending all the changes to the internet and back. This is a really useful feature especially if you have a load of files that you have to initially update on one or several devices. Another very useful feature of the Briefcase is the option to have a local cached version of all your data from the logical drive. Therefore you have access to the virtual drive even when you are not online. When you re-connect to the internet, the changed files will be updated on the web portal and amendments are pushed out to the other devices as and when they also come online.

File Sharing
File sharing is available in the web portal and in the client software - if running the Briefcase version. Merely pick the file or folder you need to share, use the share link and then choose to share privately or publicly. Public File Sharing means everyone with the exact website address see the file. If this option is chosen, you are given a unique website address for every file. Which can then be distributed to anyone you want. Private File Sharing allows only people you choose have access to the file. If this option is chosen then you must enter the email addresses for every person you want to have access to the file. You can also append a personal message to provide more information about the file you are granting access to. The system then sends an email to all of the addresses previously setup showing general information, your private message and a unique web address for the file being shared.

Web 2.0 Integration
LiveDrive has a music and video player built into the web portal, as well as a handy slideshow function. LiveDrive is also connected to several online apps including: Facebook, Flickr, SmugMug, Photo Flexer, Zoho, Spibd, PicNik and others. This means you can get to and amend the majority of your files directly from the web portal.

Customer Support
There is no telephone or online chat support. However, not counting wanting to make unusual requests (which we did via email) there has been no need to talk directly to LiveDrive's support. There is an email form in the client software and on the web portal which they answer very quickly in our experience. The Forum and Blog are great ways to receive information or get questions solved from both fellow users as well as from LiveDrive's technical support team. The FAQ and knowledgebase are good for standard queries as is the demo on their website and there are case studies available on their website. A free version is not available however a 14 day free trial is available on both types of account.

Ease Of Use
LiveDrive is extremely easy to use. After subscribing, you can download the client utility to your internet enabled devices and either start backing up your information or - if you have opted for the far more useful Briefcase option - begin moving folders to the L: drive. Restores and file sharing are a breeze to use and integrating with online services to amend information when on the move couldn't be easier.

Cost
Initial setup: Free 14 day trial
Monthly plan costs: Basic - .95/mth; Pro - .95/mth
Yearly plan costs: Basic - .50 / yr; Pro - 9.50 / yr
Initial allowed storage amount: Unlimited
Cost of additional storage: No cost
Cost of additional devices / users: No cost
Referral Program: Yes
E-billing facility: Yes

Conclusion
LiveDrive is a great archiving tool, it is tucked away cleanly and only shows itself when necessary. If you opt for the Briefcase version then the host of features you receive more than rationalizes the extra cost. With the broad range of integration with internet toys and internet utilities you have a complete online storage and workspace that automatically syncs with all your web devices. For small businesses this is a great way to collaborate your team together and keep your projects up- to-date. For individuals it is a brilliant approach to provide a secure central storage location for all your data. There are cheaper Online Storage and Online Backup solutions available; yet, In our opinion there are no better ones. LiveDrive's unique blend of easy interaction and great range of functionality make it a sure winner. On top of all that, if you select the yearly plan, you get 2 months free and an extra 10% off FOR LIFE!
