It only took one time about 3 or 4 years ago I got the I love you virus. It killed my entire MP3 collection. lesson learned.  luckly it was the days of Napster and I just re-downloaded everything I could. And re ripped my CD collection.  I have some of my most precious files uploaded to Yahoo and Hotmail in case my house burns down.

No, You are right to think that it remains on you hard drive but as far as you computer concerned it is free space and nothing has ever been there.

There's no truly effective way to prevent loss of data when somebody has physical control over a device.  You can put in BIOS passwords, but they can open the case and reset the BIOS.  Likewise, the drives can be removed.  So the best way to prevent these kinds of problems would be to just maintain positive physical control over your hardware.

You can certainly do this. However, it is a good idea to always have a copy on your hard drive. Flash drives are fairly reliable, but if the document is important you should always have a backup on your hard drive.

Hi,\nBackup softwares are used to protect your documents and other data from unwanted change. And in case there is some problem with your computer, you can use the Backup software to get you documents and other data back.\nWe have written a small backup utility. If you want, you can email me.

do u mean a back up disk?

No.  If there is data on it it is still formatted.  Your best bet is to try it in some other computers.  You might also try some disk recovery utilities to see if they can get what you need.\n\nBottom line though, stop using floppy disks -- they are horribly unreliable and flash drives are really cheap now.

Windows has a built in backup program which can be used for this. Go to accessories/systemstools/backup and the wizard will walk you thought e process. You can also setup a recurring backup which will update the back up with all the files that have changed during the day at a set night every night.\n\njainnys\nMind Experts Inc.\nhttp://www.mindexp.com

"is this for certain that this will not delete any of my files?"\n\nDo a backup just in case.  I backup my files every month to be on the safe side.

I would recommend Vision Backup from http://www.vwsolutions.com.  They even have an open file plug-in that allows you to backup files while they are in use.

You don't believe in backing up your drive?  Sorry, I might sound harsh, but backing up your harddrive is just as important as saving your word docs...

I would recommend thinking about online backup.  A system like Backup To the Web, at http://www.backuptotheweb.com will backup your files over just about any connection.  Some people will say online backup is slow, but I disagree.  The initial backup will take some time, but after that, the software only backs up files that have changed.  \n\nBest of all, it's automated and not expensive. (You can even configure it to backup more than one computer)

It looks incredible. I think what you are talking about is backing up of files using powerful encryption method. The one which has this power is the UltimateZip that I'm using. If you want you can verify it at the following website: www.ultimatezip.com

You should just use NT backup program that comes with Windows.  It is located in Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Backup.  then chose what you want to backup and where.

True Image will allow you to store your images on DVDs or another devices. It has a scheduler that will backup your data as often as you want. I think True Image is the fastest and effective backup software for now. \nlearn more about True Image here: http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/products/trueimage/
