<DIV>It really is slick. I've been doing it for years now. It is =
separate from
any ISP. I think I pay about $9/month - maybe a little less because I =
paid for
a whole year at once. What is really horrible (on my part) is that I =
don't
even know who I use - I just click and thar she goes! I'm sure I could =
find
out somehow. I have tested it by restoring files - always works fine. =
I have
used perhaps three different backup services over the years. Just do a =
search
on the internet for "<FONT size=2><FONT size=3>Internet backup =
service"</FONT>
</FONT><FONT size=3>or "online computer backup" or some such. There =
are dozens
of the serices now. They have different plans - just like cellular =
phone plans
- to choose from. You may choose a different plan than, oh, say, =
General
Motors. Just compare and contrast and you will find a service that =
meets your
needs. I only back up my critical files - I don't back up my whole =
hard drive.
If everything blows up, I can always get a new copy of the program on =
CD - its
all my data files that are critical to me. I think my plan give me up =
to 500
megs of storage.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Back centuries ago I used to back up to little floppies. Then I =
went to
tapes - and even stored them off site - what a pain. The internet =
service is
so easy and fast. Just click "GO" late at night and go to =
bed.</DIV>

<DIV>Or, you can go one step further and increase your security
1,000-fold. Backup daily to an internet backup service. No MS =
Explorer, no
floppy disks, no tapes, no clicking all over the place. I =
don't
bother at all with the PTBiz backup "feature". I simply have =
designated a
couple-hundred megs of data (includes all PTBiz files) that I back =
up
daily. Two clicks and it usually takes only 2 to 5 minutes for the =
backup
to run. This way you are protected from computer malfunction, =
theft, fire,
flood, hurricane, tornado, most acts of war, etc. Just make sure =
your
backup service is in another state. I back up to somewhere in an
underground bunker outside of Pittsburg - they claim it will =
survive a
nuclear attack (former military facility)!</DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Tom,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I'll add to what Greg wrote about the =
backing up of
PTBiz files. I too was a bit confused on procedure. Actually you =
can
thank (smirk...) the author for not completing the necessary =
program
keystrokes for making this a one keystroke =
procedure.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>After it asks you whether you want to or not =
make a
backup, if you say yes, it will prompt to another screen saying =
that the
backup has been completed. However it really isn't.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>From that point you have to go to Windows =
Explorer (
shortcut...press the Microsoft icon key on your keyboard along =
with the
E key).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>In Windows Explorer hit the C: icon, and the =
+next to
it. Then scroll down to Program Files. Again hit the + icon next =
to
Program Files, then scroll down to the PTBiz file. Click on =
PTBiz then
on the right side of the screen you'll see the date in which you =
last
backed up, along with a 7-8 digit number. That's your
backup.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Now you have to copy that file ( top of page =
in Edit),
then go to the File column (far left) and go to SEND TO. Press =
SEND TO
and determine which drive you want to save the backup in. My A =
drive is
the floppy drive, so I send it to a: drive. You'll then see it =
the
information being transferred over to the disk drive. =
Done.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Again, make sure you take the time to THANK =
(@#?$) the
author for this programming shortcoming. He wonders why more of =
his
programs never sold. Well, it's for reasons like this that makes =
the
program laborious to use.</FONT></DIV>
