Time to check your back up programs!

This is a general reminder to all of my clients, colleagues and friends to check your back up systems and make sure they are working and backing up your data. Even though you may think it’s working correctly, it’s always a good idea to check on it periodically. The only back up to trust is YOU! Software goes bad, hardware goes bad and I’ve seen it all.

Tip: if you had a back up system set up a long time ago, and you haven’t checked it lately…now is the time to do that. Many times they fail or the schedule gets off course from crashes, updates, etc. If you need help, feel free to call that girl for a quick overview to make sure it’s still backing up.  

MOZY Users: http://www.mozy.com  If this is not selected, then select that button and the time when your daily back ups done.        

To the clients we have configured the online back up program “Mozy” for in the past, we would like to take a moment to have you check to make sure the program is backing up or backing up the programs you want. The Mozy icon sits in the area by the clock in the lower right of your computer screen. It’s orange and gray. If it is not in that area, find it in the “programs” area in your computer

• Double click on it.     
• It will tell you how long ago your last back up was done.

NOTE: We set up your Mozy for daily backups. If it’s been longer than a day, since you last backed up, here is a simple way to check your settings.

• Select the “configure” button in that same window you just had open.       
• Select the “schedule” tab at the top of the window      
• Be sure that the “scheduled” button is selected with the time you want it to back up daily.      
• If it is all grayed out, at the top of that window you can select “change settings that are currently unavailable” and then you can go into the schedule options.  

Questions? If you have any questions or need help with Mozy that we configured, feel free to contact Call That Girl for a free check done. If you are not using Mozy or any other online back up systems and would like to have it setup or checked feel free to Call That Girl and we can get this set up for $25.
