Main Monthly Meeting: April 2008

PCUG will host the next Main Monthly meeting in April 2008

Implementing a Back-Up and Recovery Strategy for Windows PCs with Mike Boesen Tuesday 8th April, 2008 7:00pm for a 7:30pm start PCUG Centre Conference Room (Ground Floor) pdf session notice, including map Mike maintains that sooner or later most PC users will experience problems in accessing data or applications on their PC or booting their PC.  These problems can range from minor ones (e.g. the unintentional deletion of important files) to major ones (e.g. the PC will not boot at all).  In his view it is therefore prudent to implement a robust, easy to implement and failsafe backup strategy so a user can recover from a problem situation easily and with minimal or no loss of information.  He believes that this takes forethought and that it is best to do that thinking now rather than wait until problems occur - when recovery may not be feasible.  The strategies that he will discuss are detailed in this article:  http://www.pcug.org.au/boesen/Backups/backups.htm  Have a look at that article and in particular at Section 6 on recommendations (which also includes as suggestions, two relatively straightforward and uncomplicated whole-drive backup strategies).
