Deciding the need for a Full backup or backing up your important files
Comments OffThis weekend I talked about Backups on the Mike Tech Show listener Round table, and I heard from one or two people saying you can’t do a full backup with Allwaysync, and to a point that is true but I really don’t need a full back and some have said the program is only good for Synchronization and not backup.
I could debate that last point because what is a backup? Wikipedia defines it as “backup refers to making copies of data so that these additional copies may be used to restore the original after a data loss event”. So backing up and Synchronizing are essentially the same thing. Some users will argue that it is getting every file on your hard drive but I don’t think so. I however will tell you that Most files on your hard drive don’t need to be copied. Due to the fact that if you get a complete backup of your windows directory you will most ly end up where you left off, Viruses or some file that corrupt. I don’t make copies of the windows for that one reason, I have all OEM systems and don’t need to worry about the Windows because when I do a system restore, I get my system back to the Factory default.
