Computer Backups - Are You Taking Your Safety Seriously ?

-

You are very serious about your computer's security. From anti-spyware software to firewalls, your computer has it all. There's no way you'll open an email before it is checked for viruses and you have anti-virus software installed just in case. You are completely protected, right? Well, there is one other thing you should do to protect all the data on your computer's hard drive. From digital photos of special memories to important documents, you could lose it all if you don't do regular backups.
After all, the most secure computer won't be able to do a thing to protect your data if something happens to your hard drive. You'll need to be sure you have a safe and secure copy of your computer's data in another location. There are just too many physical risks to your hard drive to neglect data backups. Anything from a power surge to a house fire can rub out all of your hard work in seconds if you don't have a backup for your files. The time to rectify this situation is now. Deciding to wait another day or so before you get around to making your backup could be a decision that costs you your work.
If you are using your computer to store information that could lose you money if it disappeared, you will want to be doubly sure that you keep the data safe. Making a copy of business data that you store on a disk in the same home your computer is in doesn't protect you from losses due to fire, theft, etc. Store that backup at another location, such as a friend's house or your bank vault.
No matter how careful you are to back up your computer, you are not being overly paranoid. If it can happen, it will, especially if a data loss means you will be unable to meet a job deadline or that you will lose irreplacable photos. A routine that involves backing up data to two separate hard drives on the same computer, then to a third external hard drive or zip drive is a good first step. Adding an online file backup service to the backup routine is a great second step. Mozy is one of these online file backup services. Adding a file server to the entire bundle isn't a bad idea, either.
If you are afraid that making a backup is too hard or time consuming, don't be. You can find plenty of equipment to help you, from internal or external hard drives to online file storage systems. For small amounts of data, a DVD backup or a small USB pen drive can work. In a pinch, backing up to an email account with plenty of storage, such as Google or MSN, can provide emergency backup storage. In fact, your biggest problem will be deciding which of the many backup solutions is right for you. As you read a bit more about data backups, you should be able to decide on the right option a bit more easily.
Would you be happy if you lost all the data on your hard drive? Visit www.CPUSecurity.com to find out just how easy it is to keep or lose all the data on your drives.

Resignation Letter of Systems Admin - Funny

-
Mr. Baker, As an employee of an institution of higher education, I have a few very basic expectations. Chief among these is that my direct superior shares an intellect that ranges above the common ground squirrel. After your consistent and annoying harassment of myself, and my co-workers during the commission of our duties, I can only surmise that you are one of the few true genetic wastes of our time. Asking me, a network administrator, to explain every little nuance of everything I do each time you happen to stroll into my office is not only a waste of time, but also a waste of precious oxygen. I was hired because I know about Unix, and you were apparently hired to provide amusement to myself and other employees, who watch you vainly attempt to understand the concept of “cut and paste” for the hundredth time. You will never understand computers. Something as incredibly simple as binary still gives you too many options. You will also never understand why people hate you, but

Interesting Questions--Must Read

Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard? Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are flat? Why do banks charge a fee on 'insufficient funds' when they know there is not enough? Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets? Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet? Whose idea was it to put an 'S' in the word 'lisp'? What is the speed of darkness? Why is it that people say they 'slept like a baby' when babies wake up every two hours? Are there specially reserved parking spaces for 'normal' people at the Special Olympics? If the temperature is zero outside today and it's going to be twice as cold tomorrow, how cold will it be? Do married people live longer than single ones or does it only seem longer? How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?

Don’t know who the auther is ?? but good Twenty New Management Styles   1) MANAGING BY WALKING FASTER THEN THE EMPLOYEES These kind of managers you will always see in the corridor, ten steps away. "We'll have to talk" you can hear them say, just as they have disappeared around the corner. 2) MANAGING BY STARING OUT OF THE WINDOW These managers you usually meet with their backside faced to you with their hands in their pockets. When you talk to them, their thoughts keep staring out  of the windows. 3) MANAGING BY POST-IT'S Some managers forget everything. They want to impress you with their 'busy'ness by continuously writing on Post-it's while you are talking. 4) MANAGING BY DELEGATION TO THE SECRETARY These managers just delegate everything to the secretary. If He is good, He knows what she must do. 5) MANAGING BY KNOWING NOTHING These managers don't really know anything at all. They let YOU give answers. Meanwhile they fill the ti

Incompetent Manager ( 10 ways to know )

-
1. Bias against action : There are always plenty of reasons not to take a decision, reasons to wait for more information, more options, more opinions. But real leaders display a consistent bias for action. People who don’t make mistakes generally don’t make anything. Legendary ad man David Ogilvy argued that a good decision today is worth far more than a perfect decision next month. Beware prevaricators. 2. Secrecy : “We can’t tell the staff,” is something I hear managers say repeatedly. They defend this position with the argument that staff will be distracted, confused or simply unable to comprehend what is happening in the business. If you treat employees like children, they will behave that way — which means trouble. If you treat them like adults, they may just respond likewise. Very few matters in business must remain confidential and good managers can identify those easily. The lover of secrecy has trouble being honest and is afraid of letting peers have the information
