Dave-



Respectfully, I can't understand why anyone would back up personal data of
any kind on an Internet site. One doesn't know for sure what is being done
with the data and also doesn't know for sure if the data will be available
should a backup be needed.



External hard drives are so very inexpensive it doesn't make sense to not
use one. Your opinion may vary.

Subject: [dxlab] free off-site backup





Awhile back, I mentioned that I'd begun using "SOS Online Backup", an
off-site backup application that charges $20 annually for 2 GB of offline
storage and $30 annualy for 5 GB of offline storage. I set this up to
perform daily backups on my DXLab Development, Digital Photography, and XYL
PCs. While all of these systems are backed up nightly to a server, my data
was still vulnerable to a single catastrophe.

Unfortunately, "SOS Online Backup" has problems. The "client" application
that runs on each PC has resource leaks, takes forever to start up (around 2
minutes on my DXLab PC), and doesn't accurately report the amount of storage
in use. When I reported these problems to the company, they eventually sent
me a new version of the client that while improved in some dimensions is far
less reliable; it's great if you're a collector of stack traces.

I have begun evaluating Mozy (www.mozy.com) and find it to be both reliable
and useable. Initially, I was put off by the fact that files within

c:\program files

could not be selected for backup, but there's a configuration option that
overrides this. The free version of Mozy gives you 2 GB -- likely more than
enough for your email, personal documents (not images), and log files. In

<. <> com/home>

and look for the "MozyHome Free" box along the left margin.

For those needing more than 2 GB, unlimited storage will cost you $5/month
for one PC.

I have no affiliation with Mozy beyond being a satisfied (so far) user.

Instead of db it had detail in the url. I changed detail to db and now it
works.

I had to install in an account with administrator privileges so
unfortunately that is still required. I assume the installer does not have
the rights?

It would be nicer if it could install and run in a standard user but perhaps
that is more work than it is worth. Just the fact that it seems not to
require the hidden administrator account is a big plus because I can name it
as I wish and keep separate accounts for separate things. I don't even know
if there is such an account in W7?

Dave and the group,

I now have the correct info showing for JD1BMM, after having entered the
grid, zone etc.

Prior to this, I had never entered any data in the line, other than call and
country. I guess maybe it has been sheer coincidence that all other calls
have worked OK, but I connect to a DXSpider cluster, which does append grids
to most calls, but not all.

I tried "local" spots for a few other calls that were in the overrides
panel, but didn't have grid, zone etc specified, and they all appeared to
work as expected. Among others.
I will now complete ALL the boxes when I enter an override!

Thanks for the help, as always, and it is appreciated.

Subject: [dxlab] Two (or more) users/logs?


My daughter passed her Tech and got her call yesterday!

Congratulations to both of you!

I would like to set up a fresh log for her in dxlab so we can track her
awards, progress, etc, and 'do something' when it starts so we can pick the
log to work in - hers or mine.

You can create an empty new log for Olivia using the "Log file" panel at

the top of Config window's Log tab. If the pathname for your log file shown
in this panel is

C:&#92;Program Files&#92;DXLab Suite&#92;DXKeeper&#92;Logs&#92;N8WRL.mdb

change this to

C:&#92;Program Files&#92;DXLab Suite&#92;DXKeeper&#92;Logs&#92;KJ4OTY.mdb

and then click the Create button. DXKeeper will create an empty new log, and
open it. To switch back to your log, Brian, you'd click the "Log file"
panel's Select button and double-click N8WRL.mdb in the "select existing
log" window.

At minimum, you'll also need to change the default "Station callsign"

(Config window, Defaults tab) whenever you change operators so that the
correct station callsign will be recorded with each QSO. If you don't mind
sharing the rest of the settings, this will be the fastest approach. If
you'd like to maintain separate settings, you could either direct the
Launcher to setup a pair of Workspaces, save your settings to your
Workspace, and then after Olivia establishes her settings save those to her
Workspace. Switching operators would then entail terminating all DXLab
applications except the Launcher, switching workspaces, and then restarting
your DXLab applications. Alternatively, you could create a separate Windows
user for Olivia, and switch Windows users whenever you switch operators.

I spent some quality time searching this group and the docs to no avail. Any
hints?

I can't test it at the moment, but I'm fairly certain that switching Windows users means shutting down all applications and then restarting them. Even if it doesn't, you can't have two different instances of Commander running and connected to the same serial port. So if you're looking for rapid switching in the short-term, I'd perform the switch by loading the new user's log file and changing the default Station Callsign to that of the new user. Eventually, the Launcher will let you switch all settings without having to terminate and restart applications, but this capability is not imminent.

Hi Dave!

Long time - hope all is well. Thank you so much for the quick reply. I will try the log-file approach. I also like the seperate windows accounts idea because we're getting ready for a Windows 7 migration here and plan to have seperate accounts for everyone in the family. things are getting a bit cluttered on the default/common acocunt now. One thing I will have to experiment with is how easily I can switch between acocunts - I log in and fire up DXkeeper, we switch users and she logs in and also fires it up. I wonder if we can just use Windows to switch back and forth as we take turns in a pileup. I suspect there will be issues with talking to the radio but will the two programs interoperate ok? We'd each have our own log files but I suspect we'd be sharing the common DB's - DXCC, lotw, etc?

73 everyone!
