Backups - 15 minutes could save a lifetime of data

Sunday, November 16. 2008

Computer backups fall under the list of things we least understand as part of our computer. We all like to take chances and so the assumption is hey, I have a new computer, what do I need a backup for?

Well, lots of reasons -

1. Hard drives have moving parts and if you saw one in action you would worry...a lot. Here is a short video of a disk with the cover off.

Marketers all know that we get hit with a fire hose of advertising today to the point that we are desensitized by it all. They also know that the most cost effective way of marketing is to get advertising into your Inbox. Hence all the spam out there. So where does that leave you if you want to market your business via email?
