Title: Backing Up PC Files
Post by: STFC_Gazza on Thursday, December 21, 2006, 18:10:33
Anyone know a good place to back up PC files like bookmarks, address from outlook etc? I got a shitty 1998 laptop and am getting a new PC for xmas tomorrow and want to be able to move bookmarks and stuff over to it?

Can't beat the old school 5 1/4 inch floppys, they were ace.

Of course you've been a bit vague. Do you have a cd/dvd writer, disk drive? if not you could zip it all up and upload it to tinternet somewhere. Usb memory stick thing?

Lot's of options.

Upload them onto yousendit.com and email the link to yourself. Then on your new pc, download the files and you're done.

If you're too stupid to do any of the above you don't deserve a new pc  :wink:

Making a back-up of important stuff on your computer, basically a second copy.

I don't know Bushey, but Limp Bizkit may be giving us a clue:

Move in now move out
Hands up now hands down
Back up back up
Tell me what you're gonna do now

Breath in now breath out
Hands up now hands down
Back up back up
Tell me what you're gonna do now

Keep rollin' rollin' rollin' rollin'



Quite frankly though if you were to listen to Limp Bizkit, let alone get advice from them you deserve to be bum raped by Lostprophets.
