Saturday, June 13th, 2009What Exactly are Online Backup Services?
Friday, June 5th, 2009James Fohl is a contributor at Free-backup.info — the home of the popular Amazon S3 based tool for online remote backup — Back2zip. This article can be found at http://free-backup.info/what-exactly-are-online-backup-services.html
An Overview of Online Backup Services
Online backup services are perfect for users who are answer yes to the following questions. Do you have several small files that you need to always have access to? Perhaps you have important documents from your work, or school assignments that you need to have accessible on every computer?
Online backup services are better than traditional backup media such as CDs, because you always have access to them.
Several options exist, as you can put the files on a CD, floppy disk, or one of those little flash drive key chains. But what happens when you forget your CD, floppy disk, or key chain at home?
Enter the world of online backup. Thanks to the internet, there are now several online services that offer free or low cost backup services. With these such services you can easily upload your files to a server, and later access the same files from literally any computer that has internet access.
Online backup service providers offer users the ability to gain access to their files from literally any computer, anywhere.
Most online backup providers have really simple yet powerful services. Not only are the services simple, and powerful, but they are also easily accessible in any web browser window. What this means is that you can do all of your sending and receiving of your files through a web browser. You do not need any special software, or drivers installed.
What’s more is that several online backup services have some really nifty features for their users. Features such as the ability to email anyone a copy of your files can really come in handy in a work environment. Other really nice features include the ability to password protect your files, and the ability to share your files with anyone.
Online backup is not for everyone. It is made primarily for small files, unless you are going to be connected to the internet with a really fast connection. Also many online backup service providers also give their users a limit on the amount of space they may use. So even if you have a really fast internet connection, you still won’t be able to use the services to create an online backup of your three gigabyte file.
Remember to consider all of this information when you use a online backup service. Each service provider has their own policies, along with their own amount of space given to users, as well as their own pricing plans.
Be sure to shop around to find the best bang for your buck service. Also make sure that each service you look into offers a service which fully fits your needs. It’s not a wise move to use an online backup service to store digital video, when the service provider only gives you fifty megabytes of storage space.
Free trials often exist for many online backup services.
Be sure to try them out to see if they meet your needs. Finally see if the online backup services that you are interested in offer a free trial. Some services will offer a seven day trial, while others (such as .mac) will offer you a sixty day trial. Be sure to use the trial to see if ordering a subscription to the service would be worthwhile.
Keep Your Games Alive: Ps2 Backup
Monday, May 25th, 2009Walter Stevens is a contributor at Free-backup.info — the home of the popular Amazon S3 based Online Backup software — Back2zip. This resources is also available at http://free-backup.info/keep-your-games-alive-ps2-backup.html
The Importance of PS2 Backup
Ps2 backup is an important thing. The prices of games are high, 40, 60 even 80 dollars for a single video game. And we all know how easy it is to damage a video game so that it is no longer playable. No one wants to have to spend another 80 dollars in order to purchase a video game that they already own. Thus, if you backup your PS2 games you can ensure that you will always have a copy of your PS2 games, even if they are badly scratched, warped, or whatever other damage may befall them.
You can even keep your original copy in reserve and play only on your backups, this will keep the original safe from harm’s way.
How to Backup Your PS2 Games
In order to backup your PS2 games, you will need either a CD or DVD burner. While it is possible to backup your games onto a CD-R, this process requires extreme compression of the game files and is not the safest way to backup your PS2 games. It is a difficult process, and might be difficult to make work for your backup needs, although this method is less expensive. If you have a DVD burner, however, it is far easier to backup your PS2 games onto a DVD-R, as PS2 games themselves are written on DVDs.
You will also require special software in order to burn your PS2 games, however, as PS2 is a slightly different format than a normal DVD. One excellent program is DVD Wizard Pro, which has a special feature included that allows you to burn your PS2 games. The actual process is very simple once you have the required program, as you simply need to write the data from your PS2 onto a DVD burner.
Mod Chips and PS2 Backup
In order to play your backup games on your PS2 machine, however, you will require the use of what is called a mod chip. This is a special chip that you must actually install onto your PS2 console. In order to protect against piracy, manufacturers of the PS2 have put special encoding into the PS2 to protect against what is seen as illegal games so that they cannot be played on your PS2 machine.
However, this program goes cannot distinguish between an illegal copy and your own legal backup of your PS2 game. In order to circumvent this, you must install a mod chip onto your machine. Mod chips are available online, costing between 20 and 30 dollars, and you can install it onto your machine yourself. Once you do this, you will be able to play your backup games with ease.
The process is somewhat complicated, though, and you will want to make sure that you know what you are doing before you install your chip, as you do not want to damage your machine and make it inoperable at all. Your mod chip will come with installation instructions, and there are also web sites online which can assist you in this matter.
