[FRIAM] [WedTech] stupidest question ever asked on wedtech

[Douglass Carmichael]

Microsoft bought a company called Folder Share  foldershare.com.  It takes
the files on multiple machines and synchs them over the internet.
Foldershare creates a webpage with your machines and selected files, and
continually scans, so any change in one is immediately propagated to the
others if they are on the internet. I've been using it for several months
and it is fine. It even deletes files on all machines that are deleted on
any one.

Robert, I use Sonic RecordNow:  www.
<http://www.sonic.com/products/Consumer/RecordNow/>
sonic.com/products/Consumer/RecordNow/  It's pretty much built for this
purpose.

 

Although I have gotten XP to do this, it's a big pain.

I'm having success with a combination of a SimpleTech 80GB external drive
(fits in a shirt pocket, runs off USB, $130) and Microsoft's SyncToy (one of
the few pieces of MS software that does what it's meant to and no more). 

Strictly speaking this isn't a pure backup solution: my problem is that I
work on a couple of machines in the office and a couple at home, and I want
to make sure that I've always got the latest version of data, programs etc.
to hand. By syncing regularly with all these machines I avoid version
problems plus I get a pretty robust distributed backup (also I can cycle to
work as I'm not lugging a laptop).

All, 

 

some months ago my tech people "rehabbed" my "old" xp machine and told me to
stop being such a damn fool and back up my documents more often.  So, I
thought I better try to do that.  So last night I tried both Iomega backup
and Windows back up and they didnt work.  Called the techs this morning and
asked for help and they said, "Oh silly you!  You  arent trying to back your
machine to a dvd/cd burner are you?  XP doesnt DO that!"  Silly me.  

 

Does anybody have a utility that backs up to CD?  Also, could some body
remind me of the name of the screen capture utility that you guys told me
about.  The "rehabb" seems to have obliterated that as well.
