If it has ever happened to you, you know what losing information is like.  Either it be your cel phone or PC, losing your contacts, work and projects put together with your effort become an unvaluable time and money loss which damages normal production.   Having to call  customers and suppliers and having to inform that all your information has been lost isn't good for your business. Having to restart work from "Zero" and build again from the ground up is a terrible punishment you wouldn't wish anyone.

 

That's why I have written these  "Tips" to take into account and possibly someway you may avoid losing  information in the future. 

 

 

1. If you can, get a cell phone that can be connected and sync with your PC and do it every time you can.

 

2. If you can sync with even another PC other than the one you commonly use even better.

 

3. If you may locate the directory where your .wab files are located, copy them and store them on a USB Memory.

 

4. Try to sync on a weekly basis, there are new addresses and information on it.

 

5. If you wish to be even more careful, obtain a data storage account at www.4shared.com  and upload your information. 

 

 

 

 

1. Get an external drive and program a daily backup at a time you aren't working. 

 

 

2. Identify where your most important files are located and save them manually on the external drive on another directory.

 

3. If your wish to be even more careful  get a Hard Drive just like the one you have installed and make and exact copy of what you have installed, including software and work,  so that if anything happens  You may get back to work as soon as possible in hours and not in days.  

 

4. Try to work on more than one PC at a time with the purpose of sharing crucial information.

 

5. Open a backup account at   www.4shared.com and upload all the information you consider appropiate.

 

6. Print your photographs frequently. Digital Cameras are a wonder, you can take hundreds of pictures with them, but those quantities will start accumulating in hard drives, and in the event the hard drive is wrecked,  you will lose valuable mementos.  

 

7. Don't download stuff from websited you don't trust, that's where you get viruses that can ruin your pc..

 

 

1. Keep fluids away from your PC or Cell Phone . Water is essential for humans but fatal for electronics.

 

2. Don't leave them on when you're not working, power peaks can finish your PC in a fraction of a second.

 

3. Keep your laptop in a safe place when your not working preferably hidden when your not home.

 

4. Be very careful when taking your laptop outside home or office.

 

5. Get a Notebook Cable lock.

 

6. If your laptop is a work tool, don't let strangers or children use it .

 

7. Have an antivirus installed.

 

8. Have a good backup software installed.

 

9. Keep backup of your currently developing projects on USB Memories.

 

 

 

Following some of this advice may help you keep your information always at hand.
