I did it

-
Been getting things done and I finally got everything except my music backed up on our external hard drive. It took me about 9 h to do it not including virus scan of files before moving them over. The best part about that is my clean up netted me 10 gigs of space on my c drive. I figured now that things are relatively organized I will back up every 4 - 6 months. How often do you all back up - please leave comment and share?

Wow I am impressed. I know I should do it more but it gets to be such a chore.

In the office - at least once a day. At home? 10 minutes too late!

It shouldn't be a chore, mine is scheduled to run automatically every day at 10pm and only takes about 10 or 15 minutes. The first backup takes about an hour or so.

Good to know Simon. I have never done an auto back up only manual. I still keep external hard drive in the original box so it will last longer.

Hello,
My family is considering moving to San Pedro and buying a business, and after reading all that you seem to do and know, I was wondering if you would be willing to email me as I have some questions that I believe you could help with.

I use a free program, syncback SE http://www.2brightsparks.com/downloads.html to back mine up daily to my external drive. It finds anything that has changed that day and copies it to the external drive.

I back up each week without fail (experience is a hard teacher) I use 2 external drives, one that I carry with me on trips.

Thanks Roger and Datallmon - wondering on such programs can you set to back up certain files and not others?

I use a program called second copy. You can select folders and even files within for back-up on a recurring frequency.

6 months!? Don't wait that long again. You've been very lucky so far - take it from someone who wasn't and lost almost everything. Twice! I use an external hard drive, but I've heard good things about Mozy - http://mozy.com/. It's an online backup service. Whatever way you do it, do it as often as you can!
P.S. Love the new look of the blog!

Mayan Abdominal Massage

Over the holidays I went for a Mayan abdominal massage at Sol Spa - I had heard a bit about this treatment and was looking forward to trying it. I was asked to fill out a 4 page intake form ahead of time and when I went for initial consultation, we went through my form, addressed what I hoped to accomplish, and I learned more about the benefits of getting Mayan Abdominal Massage. Mayan massage benefits all organs in abdomen region, by restoring then to their natural position and allowing for better blood and energy flow through the body. How often you get treatments directly depends on your goal for getting this type of massage. For women Mayan massage can address - fertility – pregnancy – any reproductive health issues – fibroids - uterine cysts - endometriosis - menopause. This is done through checking placement of uterus and restoring to proper position through soft abdominal massage For men Mayan massage helps men prevent enlarged prostate by clearing congestion in that area -
