There is a list of files that are excluded by default with a full hard drive backup. These files are commonly temporary or unimportant files for which a backup is unnecessary. If you wish to include these files in your backup procedures, then follow these simple steps: In the upper left corner is the pull-down menu for View. Click on it and select Exclude file list....

Most external drives you purchase are formatted for PCs. If you are only going to use it with your Mac then you should reformat the drive by using "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". If you are gong to use it with your Mac and a PC then use "MS-DOS file system" format. To format or reformat a drive you will have to erase it. So before you erase the drive, copy your files to another drive.

Each person who has logged into the computer will have his or her files and settings stored in a folder named with his or her user name. Only the person who is logged in (or an Administrator) can access his or her personal folder. To find these user folders: The My Documents folder is located within this user folder (Note: The My Documents icon on your desktop is a shortcut to this folder). Files that were saved to the desktop are located in the Desktop folder.

To get the best result, choose Create Image File command from Drive menu (or context menu) to copy the damaged data to another hard drive. You can create the Image of segments of the partition, Image of the whole partition, or even Image of the full hard drive. To adjust the number of attempts to read bad sectors, use I/O Tries in Drive Control properties. After the Image is created, you can open the Image using Open Image File command, and work with it as with original drive. (See also Q24)

These notes are particular to laptops; the issue of file recover or transfer is otherwise covered in a number of FAQ questions in section 2.0, so read the adjacent responses. First, determine whether your drive is SCSI, or ATA (or IDE, same thing). A SCSI laptop hard drive has 50 pins, or possibly 54 pins (four for power); an IDE laptop hard drive has 40 or more likely 44 pins. IF the drive is IDE, you can't connect it as a SCSI drive and vice versa. Apple does not support external IDE drives.

When you setup your account, you can download a backup client that allows you to select what files you want to backup. After creating your backup files you can place them into your I(2) Drive account. You can also schedule this process to do it on a regular time interval.

After restoring your computer, go to the iFolder web site, download the iFolderClient, install the client and login to your iFolder. Your files will automatically download to your computer.

No, with eZconference others can only see the documents you insert into the meeting. (eZdesktop users may choose to allow others to see or control their computer remotely.) Error 450 indicates that the eZ software is unable to connect to our servers over the Internet, and therefore, you are unable to register or log in. There may be a "personal firewall application" on your computer that is not allowing eZ to access the Internet.

You can save to some locations (C:/temp, My Documents) on the hard drive. You cannot save to the desktop. However, once the computer reboots, everything is cleared from the hard drive! If the computer freezes while you are working, for instance, you could lose your work. We recommend using your student storage space and saving frequently on multiple storage devices to avoid losing your work.

You must delete files from your disk or hard drive if you have either of these two conditions AND you have already notified me and I have advised you to delete files: If you are storing your work on a floppy disk and you are getting warnings that the disk is becoming full, it is time to delete some files from your data disk. If your work has become corrupt on the Instructor Management Web site because of export and upload errors, you must delete ALL your files.

So-called 'mirroring' or replicating your entire hard drive over the Internet isn't really practical yet, especially with hard drives that are growing beyond 100GB in size. Backup only those files you could not afford to lose, rather than your operating system or application files (i.e., Microsoft Word).

Regarding your particular question, basically we do not recommend to backup you're the entire drive using GrandBackup because it doesn't do sector copy of the disk, just data copy. In most cases the files that you need to back up are your data files. If you lose the hard disk, you can install the program files and other software from the original CDs or diskettes but your data files are the most valuable material and they need to be restored from your own backups.

No. Computer hard drives and duplicator hard drives are two separate file systems, so they cannot communicate. The USB and Firewire connections' allow the computer to use the duplicator as a CD or DVD external burner. You can use either of those devices to store the data on a disc from a specified CD or DVD drive on the duplicator. Once you create that disc, you can use it as your master disc to load into the hard drive and make your duplications. No.

The removable hard drive can be set to record to or as a backup drive. There are three ways available to duplicate the recorded video from HD 1 (Fixed HD) to HD 2 (Mobile Rack HD). First, the FULL backup option, duplicates all the recorded video from HD1 to HD2 (given HD2 is equal to or larger than HD1). Second, the ALARM backup option, duplicates only the alarm-event recorded video from HD 1 to HD2. Third, the SELECT backup option, manually duplicates selected video clips from HD1 to HD2.

WinRescue will back up to an external harddrive as long as it is listed in Windows Explorer as a regular harddrive. WinRescue backs up files and not a harddrive image. So, the harddrive's boot information is not backed up. Making a Boot Disk in WinRescue (95/98/ME) will save the boot information on a diskette.

Most of the video that JHSPH OCW provides is in a Real Video format delivered through streaming servers. Our goal in providing video in this format (that is, in multiple bit rates) is to enable users with a variety of Internet connections to sample JHSPH OCW video offerings with a common browser plug-in without having to download large media files. Users with slow connections, however, will not enjoy a quality video experience.

Option 1: You can upload your files individually by clicking on the "+ Item" button (exactly as you would add files into your Blackboard course) Option 2: You could click on the "Web Folder" button to open a web folder window and drag and drop your files into the window. Click on the Courses tab and enter the specific course where you would like to add the file. Go to the Control Panel and to a Content Area (e.g. Course Documents).

Right click on the PDF link and select "Save Target As" from the menu options (if you have Internet Explorer) or "Save Link As" (if you have Netscape). You should next be prompted with a window asking where you want to save the file. Select the Desktop as the location you wish to save the file. Finally, click the Save button, and the file will start downloading to your computer. When finished, you should see an icon for the file on your desktop.

Windows: By default, the preferences are stored in HKCU/Software/BitWise Chat/BitWise. Optionally, you may store the preferences in BitWise.ini in your home folder by pressing "Setup" prior to logging in and specifying you wish to store your preferences in that file rather than the registry. Detached mode allows you to use basic client features even when your computer cannot maintain communication with the BitWise server.

Both Netscape and Microsoft have measures in place that limit the number of cookies that will be saved on your hard drive at one time. Both Internet Explorer and Netscape conform to the RFC 2109 limitations on your total cookie count to 300 (this includes a limit of 20 cookies per individual domain). If you exceed this, the browser will discard your least-used cookies to make room for the new ones.

After a cookie is transmitted through an HTTP header, it is stored in the memory of your browser. This way the information is quickly and readily available without re-transmission. As we have seen, however, it is possible for the lifetime of a cookie to greatly exceed the amount of time the browser will be open. In such cases, the browser must have a way of saving the cookie when you are not browsing, or when your computer is shut off.

Check question number 6 about startup disks; most people need these because of hard disk problems. Apple provides an "erase disk" option on their main menu which will re-initialize some but not all hard drives. Apple also has a "disk test" utility to test formatted disks. There is also a popular control panel add on for "SCSI probe" which is helpful, check various Mac shareware sites for it.

Sometimes files can be corrupted as a backup program will try to backup an open file and when restored the file is corrupt. To stop NTBACKUP from backing up open files perform the following Check "Backup files in use". If it is set to 1 double click on the value and set to 0. Click OK If you do have "Backup files in use" set to 1 then you should also set the following parameter For more information have a look at Q159218 (http://support.microsoft.

Yes, however you will likely need to specify the "-o workaround=rename" option to sshfs, which is available in sshfs 1.3 and newer. On MacOSX, this sshfs option is enabled by default. For more information on this option, see the sshfs FAQ. More information about using sshfs and rdiff-backup is available on the rdiff-backup wiki.

You must remember to disable the protection before backing up the protected files, because if you leave the protection ON, the backup software may not find the hidden or restricted files! (It would be a very weak protection if it were possible to get to your private files simply by running the backup software, wouldn't it?) This also applies to other disk maintenance tasks: please remember to disable the protection (by using the Start - Program Files - Folder Guard - Toggle Protection command) b.
