Carbonite

Repa,

Since I updated the Java the other day, I was offered a free 30day free trial for Carbonite, the online computer back up system

You ever tried that, you think it's OK to try?

Well, Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity advertise it; it's probably ok, but I back up my system on an Maxtor 500GB external hard drive. It's very easy to do; you set up a configuration of what folders on your drive(s) you want the Maxtor Manager to backup for you, click a button and it does it. You can also schedule it to backup your system automatically at specified intervals.

Thanks Repa.

I've heard of on Beck, & ones you mentioned, but, just wondered if you had tried it.

I was reading the privacy, and the I forget the other thing that described it.

Anyway, it seems like it will ask a lot of personal information, that I was concerned about having to give out. That I don't like.

Just noticed that when I went to logon that there is an ad under the Geeks Logo that says, "your Download Manager might be outdated. Do you want to install it now?" Don't fall for it! Ignore it!
