Miketechshow Listener Roundtable : #242 Backups

By Paul | May 3, 2009

We had a great time talking about backing up our system. On a side note, I’d like to tell people that During the Round table, I was restoring my system due to a major network issue. The system wouldn’t stay connected at all to my network or my USB A600 Cricket Modem. I used the A600 Modem during the podcast with Skype, so the quality isn’t as good as it should but that is due to two different factors. One I had a cheap headset and two the bandwidth limitations. This however shows that this is possible and works really well. I also used the Antenna for the Skype meeting. It actually seems like a stable connection. Although Mike has told us in his email this might be the last Round Table, so if you want this to continue you can either email him or twitter him telling him you want to keep seeing these podcasts. I also talk about Roboform and how I make sure the passwords are backed up. We did talk about making sure to test our backups, so we know if the backup process works. I have to say my backup procedure was without doubt working for me. Even though I had some issues with Vista security updates after the restore, my restore to laptop didn’t take more than an hour to get the programs that I wanted back on the system.
