January Presentation
|
|
|
Doing
regular backups of your computer is the best
possible way to protect your computer and
its files. Today, we are inundated with many
different ways to do backups and it is
difficult to know which approach is best.
They do not give you all the same
protection, so you may
end up surprised when
you have a hard drive crash and find out
that the backup approach that you picked
cannot get your computer running again
quickly. In this presentation, we will
inspect the five most common backups
approaches on the market and tell you the
advantages and problems with that backup
approach. We will also describe why and
where you would want to use each type of
backup available. Most important of all, we
will tell you why one backup approach is
vastly superior to all of the others. This
is an important topic on backup technology
and one that you will not want to miss.

Our Presenter, Gene Barlow,
has worked with computer systems for over 50 years
and has specialized in backup technology and hard
drive utilities for the past 20 years. He can make a
complex topic easy for everyone to understand, yet
still provide lots of details that you need to know.
He is one of the most popular presenters to user
groups and has presented to thousands of user group
audiences. You will find his presentation easy to
understand and very interesting. Be sure to attend
this session.
