Boxes are dead!

Over the past few years the concept of ‘computing’ has changed dramatically. This is in no small part due to small handheld computers like the iPhone with its slick and non-technical iOS operating system.
Desktop computers need not have a dedicated room full of cables anymore, nor should they even have a box.

All-in-one computers (of which the iMac is the best example) have now been available for many years, and as we move towards a cloud computing environment, your computer will merely be a window onto the Net – if it breaks, get another window and keep on surfing.

Check your Acronis backups

For those of you who have bought Acronis True Image backup to back your whole computer up every day, there are a multitude of reasons why it may fail. Reasons include:

1. Automatic deletion of old backups have failed and your backup disk has run out of space
2. Backup corruption
3. Portable HDD media failure

By opening Acronis and having a look at the task calendar, you can easily see which days have succeeded and which have failed. Another way of checking is to periodically see if you can restore your backup (but don’t actually do it). Don’t just assume it’s working! If you find that it’s not working, call Ben on 0417566134 and he’ll come round at no charge to put it back on track.
