Is everyone doing like they should and backing up their
computer properly, and doing it often? If you are like
most hams (and I include myself in that category), you
are not doing it often enough, if at all. It seems that all
of us put it off, usually until it is too late.
Part of the reason we put it off is that it is too difficult to
do. After all, we are just human, and take the easy way out.
Here is an item that will make it easier to back up your
computer. That includes all your e-mail, all of the good
information that comes off of these great mailing lists,
your ham log book, and everything else you might want
to back up.
I have an Syquest SparQ 1 Gig back up unit.
It takes removable cartridges, and holds about 1 Gig
each. It is about a fast as a hard drive, and connects to
your parallel printer port. Your printer then connects to the
SparQ unit. Software, plus a spare cartridge is included
for $30 plus shipping from Florida.
Before someone asks, I have switched to a different
media for my backups, but I AM backing it up.
Thanks.
