If you are running Windows 7 it is a very simple process. - In Control Panel, click System and Security (System and Security), and then click Backup and Restore (Backup and Restore). -In the left pane, click Create a system recovery disk (Create a system recovery disc); -Insert a blank CD in the DVD, and then click Create Disk (Create Disc). If you want to see screenshots to makew things easier, see the webpage below.

Back up is to save your valuable files (pictures, songs, e-mails, documents,..) Recovery disc is to restore the operation of the computer in case it gets fouled up. Restore Point sets up and customizes the pc with your informations and settings. Once you have your software (your programs) installed you should create a recovery disc - usually your anti-virus software (which you need to buy if pc didn't come with it) will have the ability to make a restore disk. Depending on how important your pc is to you you could up-date the recovery disc every 3 - 6 - 12 months. Back-up should be done much more regularly. Most pcs allow the creation of back-up timetable which will automatically run on a schedule of your choosing. The data is all sent to some location and should be a separate hard drive, memory stick, different computer, on-line storage or a cd/dvd. Companies may back up daily or hourly, individuals might BU daily, weekly, monthly or randomly. == so you need to Create a recovery disc - once in a while Install an anti-virus program (McAfee, Norton, Kaspersky, and many others) Schedule your back ups - weekly is fine for most people. Schedule your system AV scans === every time you install a major new software program, you should consider creating a new Restore point/Recovery Disk. === With windows you should also set a new restore point BEFORE a major new program - in case something nasty happens. === Record all your product key codes on paper. === With so many programs being constantly tweaked with downloads from the Web, it is a real good idea to have TWO types of back ups - frequently (say weekly or monthly) for data (pictures, media, e-mail,..) and once a quarter or every 6 months for the software. Since the software can take up a huge amount of storage, its a good idea to burn that bu to a dvd, imho.

If you're a business owner you've probably heard about cloud computing. It sounds interesting and useful, but you probably don't know enough about it to jump in head first and say "yes that's the direction I want to take my company!" With you in mind, we've created the following list of questions and answers to help you gain a good overview of what these kind of services are all about.

What does cloud computing mean? Right now you probably have a team of PCs loaded with various software that allows you to perform all your daily business tasks. Well these types of "in the cloud" services allows you to access your programs via the Internet. So most of your software is located somewhere else in one central secure location. And all the computers in your office access it through the Web. Remember, this is a basic definition. There is more to it than what we'll get into here. What is the main benefit of cloud computing? Well, the bottom line is it reduces your need for onsite hardware. Now there are quite a few benefits attached to this. First of all, you spend less money on purchasing hardware. Not to mention on energy to run it. Also, you deal with fewer onsite networking issues. Since most everything is stored offsite, any problems will all be housed and fixed in the offsite location. And of course this also helps reduce clutter around your office. Is my data safe when I use cloud computing? It really depends on a number of factors. First of all, where are you getting your cloud computing services from? Your best bet is to go with a IT management service. Then you'll know exactly where all your information is being stored, what is being done to keep it safe, and who has access to it. If you have any problems or concerns, you can contact the company directly, even in person, to clear things up. Should I make the switch? Of course every individual situation is different. Some business owners may benefit from cloud computing more than others. If you're considering making the switch, you best bet is to contact a company that offers IT support. Talk to them about their cloud computing options and see what they say. Just make sure you pick a company with a good reputation so you get straight answers. You don't want someone who is just going to try and sell you on an idea to make money.

There it is. It's, one of the latest advances in computer technology. Remember, there's a lot more to the whole process than what's detailed here. As with anything, do some thorough research before jumping in headfirst.
