[Nfb-krafters-korner] OT computers

[Annette Carr]

I manually back up the files stored in the "my Documents" folder.  My goal
is every month, but the unfortunate truth is I do it when it hits me that I
have not done it in a while, or when I just added something very important.


I have an external hard drive that connects to my computer via a USB port
and that is what I back up to.

I am using Outlook 2003 for e-mail, contacts, calendar, notes and tasks.
When I am in the back up mode, I create a PST file from with in Outlook and
that puts all of my Outlook data into a file that I can then save a copy to
the external hard drive.  

Backing up is very important if you have information you do not want to
loose.  I've been in the position where I lost everything, and promised
myself that I would back up on a regular bases.  It is really sad that I've
broken that promise to my self every time.

So, do as I say, and not as I do.

Now you must understand that I use America on line[AOL] so I do not know if
this is something with the other  services.  I can save any email to  my
computer or on AOL.  I usually save, if I really think I would like this
for future reference on AOL.  It is saved by dateand my computers have come
and gone since I have used AOL and those saved emails are still there over
maybe  14 years.  
 
AOL also has a setting that will allow any email that you "save as new"
that will keep an email on your "new email" list until you delete it or open
it and not hit the "save as new" button.  I usually have a couple of hundred
emails on my list  and periodically go through them and weed some  out.  I
feel good after the weeding if I get them below 200, but Ion a  daily basis
have well over 300 emails sitting there.
 
Maybe Audrey will jump in here to comment.  I know she does not use  AOL and
she has saved emails.
