It's the 1st of the Month

Do you know what that means? IT'S BACK UP YOUR FILES DAY!

Spend some time back up your work, if you haven't since last month. You never know when your computer's hard drive will crash and you will lose all of your masterpieces.

You should have THREE redundant systems. I learned this after working with servers for 10 years! So your computer's hard drive.. an external hard drive.. and maybe burn some CDs... anyway you can do it, at least have a single BACK UP!

Last month I told you about http://mozy.com/ and I'm telling you again. It's only $4.95 a month. I don't get any special reward points or anything for telling you about this, I just thought it was very useful information!

Now go back up your files!

Here is another WONDERFUL thing I just learned about.. you can back up your bookmarks! Over the years I've lost so many good bookmarks from computer crash or getting a new computer and nobody moved them over for me.. so when I read that you can backup your bookmarks too I was thrilled.

Check out Delicious. You sign up for FREE and you can import all your current bookmarks. I did it last night so I still have to 'tag' them so they will be better organized but if my computer goes down, I'll still have that neat little Thank You note generator that I used when my son was born.
