ACRONIS WEBINAR BACKING UP YOUR HARD DRIVE- “THE PERFECT BACKUP APPROACH” ACRONIS 2009 TRUE IMAGE SOFTWARE The meeting opened with preparations underway for the Webinar. Contact was established with our presenter, Gene Barlow who was located in St. George Utah. The mechanics of making the presentation are interesting. Gene explained that the basic two-way audio connection is by use of Skype, a free Internet phone service. Skype supports two-way video by using a small webcam at each end. We were able to see Gene quite clearly as he spoke to us. His actual presentation consisted of power point slides. At that point he turned off the video and switched to Lotus Same Time Unyte software that enabled us to see his desktop and view the slides. The slide presentation is available in several ways. It is included on the Acronis program CD. It can be viewed online at http://www.ugr.com/PBA/PerfectBackupApproach.htm Also it is included on Gene’s website at www.ugr.com Click on Resources the Tutorials. Gene discussed the two approaches to backing up your hard drive, the older file by file method and the newer full drive image way. There are competing products but Gene considers ACRONIS 2009 TRUE IMAGE to be the best. He discussed in detail how to use it as well as using external hard drives to preserve your backups.
