Backing Up

You won’t have to worry about losing valuable data again if you find the best backup software for your home or office. Whether your main concern is to keep a copy of all your documents or to encode sensitive information, you can find the best backup software that contains the best of both of these features and more. Backup software may not always be cheap, but it is an essential investment for preserving and protecting valuable information.

If security is your main concern, there is backup software that has five different encryption alogrithms that protect your data against hackers. You can also have the file name encrypted for added security. It is easy to add new folders, and you can build your files at the click of a mouse.

The best backup software will:

• Create a backup program
• Choose files for backup
• Define compression settings
• Choose target of the backup

You can have all of your files backed up automatically, or you can pick and choose files to back up. Changes can be made constantly, and most backup software is flexible enough to accommodate multiple versions of the same document or selected revisions. If you want to conserve space, you can select the highest level of compression to make more room. It is also easy to choose which location you want you files stored, whether it is in:

• Hard drive
• USB stick
• Network Folder
• CD
• DVD
• Remote FTP Server

Most backup software employs automatic backup programs that will store your information as it is created. You can choose scheduled backup instead, if you prefer. It is possible to store multiple versions of a document and the wizard feature restores files to their original folders.

Backup software may also contain other features that are helpful, such as virus scanning and disaster recovery. Anti-virus features will help prevent file-destroying crashes from infecting your computer, and disaster recovery will help get your computer up and running again if it does happen to crash. Backup software will ensure that your files will be intact even if your computer temporarily ceases to function.

There are many who simply to backup their files manually on a floppy disk or a CD rather than purchasing backup software. However, these devices have a somewhat short shelf life, and will tend to wear out even if they are not used excessively. It would be a major disappointment to believe that your files are safely backed up when they fail to appear when needed. The sheer effort required to cut and paste and to edit your files for backup will probably cost you in terms of work hours much more than a rather modest investment in backup software. Everything is done automatically with backup software, and there is less likelihood that you will fail to backup certain files due to an oversight.

Backup software varies in price and quality, so it is worth doing substantial research before making your final investment. Some might find that security is more of a priority, whereas others are looking for backup software that will provide them with maximum space. Still others ar searching for the lowest prices on backup software. It is definitely worth it to take advantage of trial offers and demos when they are offered. This will enable you to decide on the backup software that is right for you. Take a look at Primera Optivault for an automated DVD backup solution.

CD-writer.com Ltd agrees to transfer .EU to MicroBoards Technology

After several months of negotiations between the two companies CD-writer.com Ltd processed the transfer of www.microboards.eu to MicroBoards Technology Ltd. MicroBoards UK had previously failed to register the domain name within the allowed control period thus allowing third partys and no-trademark holders to register any un-registered domain. Fortunately Microboards Technology Ltd (the UK are of MicroBoards) benefited from the fact that their technology and business partner CD-writer.com Ltd registered the name on their behalf.

Nic Ranshaw MD of CD-writer.com Ltd had this to say, “When we saw that the MicroBoards domain name was unregistered we had only one option. At CD-writer.com we pride ourselves on our proactive approach to the internet and if we see an opportunity we take it. Our intention was never to warehouse the MicroBoards domain name and we recognised that Microboards would be gratefull that the name had been secured by a friendly party”. Ranshaw continued, “We would like to think that the goodwill represented by CD-writer.com by securing and transferring the domain to MicroBoards without cost will help to strengthen the relationship between our two companies”.

No one from MicroBoards Technology was available for comment.

CD-writer.com Ltd are the UK’s largest independent supplier of CD and DVD Duplicators, Publishers and Printers.

The BBQ Season is upon us.

We’ve all been feeling the heat lately at CD-writer.com but last Friday we found some light relief in the form of a Friday Afternnon BBQ. It was nice to spend the later afternoon burning burger rather than discs. And it provided a great opportunity for our growing team to let their hair down. We’re planning to make this a fortnightly event so check your diaries. Highlights included some fine kebabs prepared by Mr Nic ‘Ace’ Ranshaw, some great Latin Jazz from Dave De Caunce and some rather snappy cider brought by Helene from her family home in Toulouse.
