Vacate that cave, may be a sleeping dragon hiding there...

Emails have arrived about backing up data. 'If not the backup that's resident in the Windows OS's then what?', seems to be the question. K, how many times am I going to say - crawl out of that cave and use Google !?!? I just looked and there are over 1,700,000 hits when you type in "back up utilities free". Please put Google in your favorites and download the registry entry that makes Google your default search engine. One small, easy to use alternate backup program can be found at Mike Lin's Page. The name of the program is RapidBackup. Mike is a student at MIT and I have mentioned him several times in the past. If you use the program a few days and like it, then go back and leave something in the tip jar on his site. MIT is not free you know, so help the dude out. Backups can save you from the dragon and I guarantee he will appear when you least expect it!

While I am at it, let me say thanks to all the readers of Cybersouth. Helps keep me away from therapy. Please do not be shy about using the comments tag at the bottom of each post to rave or rant or just say hi. BTW, anyone can read all the comments, just single click on the tag line.
