技巧為支持您的計算機系統和數據文件

張貼在2007年3月9日在2:08 pm

保證讀其他崗位從備用數據系列!

確定您支持您的數據是一个我們在自助書聽見事的那些真正地重要，但不那麼迫切類型! 不幸地，因為多數人的我們有噸個人，與工作相關和關於我們的計算機的企業數據，支持您的數據!是極端重要的!

這我以後將更新將幫助您開始的一個短的指南，如果您是不知道關於怎樣去支持事那些人的之一!

要瞭解的第一件事是您能根本上支持項目的二個類型：操作系統和它伴生的文件或通常分開地被存放在另一驅動或在您我的文件或桌面的您的數據。首先我們談論支持您的數據，因為那比OS通常重要。我們將談論操作系統在另一個崗位!

然而您支持您的數據，確定它不在計算機! 一樣傻像也許聽起來，我看見了簡單地複製了他們的數據對其他文件夾或另一分開的許多人(像D ：)。這不會幫助，因此不做它! 這您想要使用的媒介：

1. CD's/DVD -這是最容易并且優良通常是為多數人用更新的計算機。如果您能燒DVD，則，除非您有噸歌曲或錄影，您應該大概能適合您的數據1個或2個圓盤。 Use your favorite burning software and you’re done!

2. External HD’s/Zip Drives - I find this to be the best way to store my data because external hard drives are fairly cheap and you can get a large amount of space for a good price. Simply plug in your USB or Firewire drive and copy the data onto the new drive. What’s even nicer is that with an external drive, you can configure a backup using Windows to start automatically and as long as your drive stays connected (this applies to desktops that are sitting at home), you won’t have to manually do anything!!! And that’s really why people don’t backup their data, it’s usually not because people don’t know, but no one ever gets around to it! So schedule a backup and you’ll never have to worry about it again! I’ll explain step by step how to setup a backup in Windows later.

3. Online file storage - This is quickly becoming the next best place to store your files because it’s requires no extra hardware, it’s conveniently accessible, and it’s pretty cheap! If you don’t want to buy anything or can’t figure out how to connect something to your computer, then try this option! Simply create an account and there will be a button called Upload, click that and choose your files!

This site has 1GB of free storage and it’s only $4.99 a month for 5GB!!! That’s a lot of space!!!

AOL also has an online storage service called X-Drive and they have 5GB of storage for free!! Of course the only thing that is required for online storage is a broadband internet connection otherwise it’ll take forever to upload your data.

Update: Here’s a great post from lifehack.org that lists 90 online storage services you can use to upload your computer’s data.

4. Service specific storage - I call this service specific storage because it refers to one particular set of data being stored in its own way that’s usually better than just dumping it onto some server somewhere where you only see the file names.

For example, I use an external hard drive to store a lot of my personal documents, songs, pictures, etc, but I also use Picasa Web Albums to upload all my photos because there it acts as not only a backup, but also allows me to share photos with others, etc. I wrote another post on how to setup Web Albums and you can read it by going here:

If you have a web site or a blog, you should routinely download all of the files to your local computer as backups. Always be prepared for the worst!
