Question about Backups
Hello:
I have a question regarding doing a backup. I have been asked by a friend of the family to set up a backup device at his business. The business is very small. They have a total of three computers of only which 2 are networked together... (if you want to call that a network.) Anyway, They run Quickbooks and one other program that they would like to backup 2 - 3 times a week. My feeling is, to go out and spend a minimum of $400 on a tape backup would be a waste of $$$. I thought just getting an external cd burner and burning the files they need to backup would be enough for them. Good idea or no? Any ideas out there? Thank You, Paul |

I would be more inclined to go with a DVD burner because of the extra capacity. But yes an expensive tape drive is overkill. I would, however, use backup software rather than just burning the files. This way you can set up scheduled backups of just the files they need to preserve. I would also run the backups either daily or when changes are made to the data, not just 2-3 a week.

I found a website which explains how to make extra registry backups. A tool for retrieving these backups is included. It's a zipped batch file, with instructions which simply say to unzip it to the root directory. That's where I get confused. What part of the root directory does it go to? I...
