No requirement that they be the same size and type, only that they be large
enough. Do not buy it yet if you are going to W& since that is not yet
supported Acronis is coming out with 2010 Home which does support it and has
a continuous (every 5 minute ) backup and also encrypted offsite if you want
it. I think it will be the best although lacks a few high tech features of
Ghost. I think it will be my choice. I guarantee it is easier to use. I have
been a Beta tester.

I havent used Norton Ghost in several years, but the last time I did, it required my second hard drive be exactly the same size/type as the primary. Is that no longer the case? I would be nice to get a larger drive to replace the one I have now, ghost it, and then actually use the new one in the computer, putting the present one in the bank vault.

But can you do a full restore of your system in a disaster
situation? I mean
you do it and you are back where you were with no program
reinstalling? If
not I think it is a bad deal for those with a lot of applications
such as
myself. The way is to use an image program like Norton Ghost or
Acronis
Drive Image. These make a FULL backup that can restore to a formatted
drive
and when done you are back to where you were. The backup runs while
you
continue to use your system. It is quite fast, dong over 90 gigs in
two
hours or less. USB drives are so cheap that you have more than one to
have
multiple copies and you keep one at an offsite location or at least
away
from the computer an d not connected. They can fail but not very
often and
that is the reason for more than one.

I have had nothing but trouble with tape and a fast tape is VERY
expensive
unless you got a deal like yours.

If you have a VERY fast VERY large tape then you may have the best
idea
providing it can do a complete system recovery.

I just installed all the programs on Windows 7. It is in an administrator
account but not the hiddened administrator. All so far seems to work exceptr
QRZ.COM call lookup. HTat no longer works. It does work if you go to
Pathfinder to do it but not if you click CBA or Lookup. I think they may
have finally enforced direct lookup at QRZ but not sure. Anyhow so faer is
so good fpor Windows 7. I did tuoff UAC by turning it to the Never prompt
level. I shou;ld have tried installing in a Standard user I suppose just to
see. J

And an external hard drive is easily trashed if it is bumped while in
use. Don't ask me how I know.

Recordable DVDs take too much user intervention unless the amount of
stuff to be backed up is trivial.

I use a Dell (relabeled Sony) 8-tape DDS4 autoloader, bought on eBay
for
a song. A full backup of every machine on the LAN runs in the early
hours of each Sunday morning (typically takes 4 or 5 tapes) and a
differential backup of every machine during the early hours of Monday
through Saturday (one tape each day). Each tape holds 20GB without data
compression; the last lot cost me $3.50 each; I can drop them with
reasonable impunity, mail them across country, and store a duplicate
set
in the safe deposit box at the bank every now and again.

Yes, there is a privacy consideration with respect to online backup
services. One should only engage with a reputable company, and only

after

reviewing their security policies. Both SOS Online Backup and Mozy

Norm and group
I have had to had a lessons at the counter on several days on IRC
issuing and exchange.
At my branch I had 2 employees stand there and tell me "We don't
sell them any more." Suggesting they look behind them in the file
box where stamps are store for sale when not locked away. They
then needed the POS code since they attempted to scan the serial
number on the back.
One employee has told the new workers on the window to listen to
what I tell them "He knows more then we do."
According to PB22267
<[1]
7.pdf>, released 2009.09.10, on page 11 the new Nairobi model IRC
New IRCs, Item 330800, bearing a denominated price of $2.10, go
on sale nationwide September 10, 2009.
Beijing 2 IRC will be sold until October 15, 2009.
On Page 12
Advise customers to exchange IRCs that expire on December 31,
2009, for the new IRC version (Item 330800), or for other postage
stamps. Retail associates (RAs) can exchange unused U.S.-issued
IRCs for $0.01 less than the value of the IRC. (The amount to
exchange is the printed price of the IRC along with any
additional postage affixed minus one penny.)
See Handbook F-101, Field Accounting Procedures,
section 11-6.6 for additional information concerning IRCs.
No I never worked for the USPS. Just a well informed consumer.

I find these comments ammuzing.

Have you ever tried to exchange an IRC for a stamp at the post

office? Try to find anyone who even knows what they are. I had a
supervisor tell me that they don't use them anymore. I have still
not recieved any response from the USPS website about exchanging
IRCs. The only person who knew how to do it at the local PO has
retired and taken the secret with her.

Filling out QSL cards, SASE, buying postage stamps, licking

envelopes not PIA?

Schlepping QSL cards to a convention to be checked or sending

them to HQ not PIA?

A couple of mouse clicks is far less trouble. :-)
