Backup Your Computer: Insure It Against Disaster

There are irresistible natural and man-made calamities in the world. They cause huge losses. Fortunately, we have insurance, and it can make up for the loss to some degree. On the other hand, however, our computers are confronted with disasters as well, and much more frequently than what we experience in the real world. But who will make up for this? Nobody! A system crash is relatively slight event; a loss of important data is really despairing. You can’t count on an insurer to buy this. You can only depend on yourself, and embattle well against the unexpected disasters ---- backup computer!

This is the only way that can guarantee 100% compensation except that your are Alex Mahone with a whole FBI group and can recover the data of the prison break plan on the disk that was thrown into the lake by Michael Scofield.

Well, to the point, using backup to restore computer is the final way to fix ruin. But actually most people won’t use it unless it all effort of attempt to remove a stubborn virus or stop continuous system crashes etc. comes to vain.

We all know restore can solve all problems but why not use it at the beginning?

“I made computer backup many months ago and all data added after the creating is not included. I don’t want to lose it all at first, but at last I have to compromise!”

Ah, that accounts for it!

Then why not create backups timely? Say, make a schedule?

“Making computer backups is really bothersome. Reboot again and again, backup files take too much space, and I can list more reasons!”

Ah, that makes sense!

Dislike of trifles is nature of human, and I can understand that. Traditional backup programs take tedious steps and much space to create backups. Ghost? When it backups a drive with 12GB space used on Windows 7, time elapsed: 4 min 4 sec, backup file size: 6.73GB. So totally 18.73GB space is occupied. Even Windows System Restore can take 12% of your hard disk space. What do you say?

For the sake of saving space and tedious operations, I use a program called Wondershare Time Shuttle. It perfectly solves the two big problems: no space and five seconds at most to create computer backups without reboot. Thus you can make as many as backups at any time, no reboot to interrupt your work. It does sound incredible, but it’s really truth. There are a lot of other useful features, and you will be interested in that.

Now you solve the essential problems of making computer backups, and you will find it much more convenient and easier to remove all computer problems than your posting help threads on forums and waiting for experts to give you directions, which, sometimes may turn out to be in vain after your days of effort because some viruses are really powerful.

Just restore it. It’s the shortest cut and soon you will love it.

secure my connection - I agree with Link's second post. Security is a personal sticky issue and possibly not the first service you should introduce yourself at the door. I'd suggest also the Back to School "In-Home" Computer tuneup (it's such a pain to take your computer in for servicing) and promise that they would see a smoother and faster computer. You can hand them a 2 page report on the benefits of having a computer tuneup -> this is critical. After you are gone this is the only piece of information that they will have to begin trusting you and want to have you in their home. You can sneak at the bottom of the report the benefits of having a wireless connection and the importance of Securing it. finish off the report with two dotted rounded rectangle boxes beside each other. One has a free Computer tune up assessment and the other a free wireless network security test. If they take you up on either you can test for the other. You now have two sources of possible income.
