[Dx4win] DX4WIN Backup

[Lou Dietrich]

Guys,

I take my "Save" directory and attach it to an email and send it to my Yahoo
email account. I then move it to my DX4WIN folder on Yahoo.

It is free (I like free) and virtually indestructible.

Yes, it requires an internet connection...but then again so does this mail
list! And if anyone wants to hack my DX4WIN folder on Yahoo, they can have
at it!...and if Yahoo goes out of business, then we are more trouble than
looking for a place to back-up our DX4WIN files!

CD-ROM and thumb drives are great, as long as you store them outside the
home. Virtually useless in case of fire, flood, tornado, acts of God,
Grandchildren and hungry dogs.

73 and Good Luck in CQWWcw...

Lou N2TU

I'm skeptical about storing info on one of these online services.

1. It requires an internet connection

2. It's vulnerable to hackers

3. The company might go out of business

What is wrong with using a CD-ROM or thumbdrive?

73, Roger
