!! Welcome to this Wiki for the HTCC Backup Workshop!\n''Purpose: Capture and extend our Backup Workshop sessions.'' This wiki reduces your need to take notes, lets you pay more attention, and captures and organizes what you'll need to do things on your own. It also extends the workshop by providing details that would be tedious to cover in the workshop. This Backup Wiki also helps bridge sessions you can't attend. :-)\n!! Notes:\nThis wiki is integrated with information on the HTCC Website. The result is not seamless. ;-) I'm relying on the workshop and user persistence to pull it all together. :-)\n\n''If you're baffled about using BackupWiki, click QuickStart to get started.'' The Main Menu in the left column will give you access to the content. You can also [[download this wiki|DownloadBackupWiki]] to keep on your hard drive or [[edit|EditWiki]] it for yourself.\n\n@@color(red):''I will update this wiki frequently during the course of the Workshop, so come back here often.''@@ '':)''\n

!!! Why organize for backup?\n# You're bound to leave out the most important file(s) if you don't. That's one of Murphy's Laws. If you don't overlook it the first time you make a backup, you're bound to forget it later.\n# It makes it easier to back them up the next time.\n# It will make it easier to restore a lost or damaged file.\n!!! How to organize for backup:\n# Collect your files in a limited number of places.\n# Use your backup program to organize your backups. {[[Example|http://cybercoyote.org/computer/bu-setup.shtml]]}\n# [[More|http://cybercoyote.org/computer/organize.shtml]] details.\n!!! Resources\n# [[More info|http://cybercoyote.org/computer/organize.shtml]] at CyberCoyote.org\n# [[Example|http://cybercoyote.org/computer/bu-setup.shtml]]

''Don't worry, you won't break this wiki or your browser.'' The easiest way to learn about this BackupWiki is to use it! But first, there are @@bgcolor(#fff):color(#f00):some clues below.@@ :-)\n!!Reading this Wiki\n*''Tiddlers, such as this QuickStart tiddler, are concise content blocks.''\n*''Tiddler links often consist of two capitalized words run together,'' for example QuickStart or PhilSpohn.\n*''There is another handy index in the right hand column of this wiki too.''(Notice the tabs -- ''|Timeline|All|Tags|More|''.) The ''"All"'' tab, for example, lists all the Tiddlers, including some that have no links leading to them.\n*You can open as many tiddlers as you like, but it's good to close some if you get too many open at once.\n!!Closing tiddlers:\n*''Hover your mouse pointer over this tiddler. A mini-menu will pop up just above it.''\n**Click <<tag close>> (in the menu) to close ''this tiddler''.\n**Click <<tag close.others>> to close ''all tiddlers except this one.''\n**Click ''<<closeAll>>'' at the ''top'' of the ''right-hand column'' to close ''all the tiddlers.'' Duh. :-)\n*''NOTE: You can always get back here again by clicking QuickStart in the main menu at the left.''\n!!More help with Wikis:\n*''http://www.giffmex.org/twfortherestofus.html -- tutorial''\n*''http://www.tiddlywiki.com/ -- [[TiddlyWiki|http://www.tiddlywiki.com/]] home page''\n*''http://trac.tiddlywiki.org/tiddlywiki/wiki -- [[TiddlyWiki.org|http://trac.tiddlywiki.org/tiddlywiki/wiki]]''\n!! Some tips:\n*''Font Size:'' Hold down the "Ctrl" on your keyboard and scroll your mouse wheel to increase or decrease font size when reading this wiki. ''Alternative:'' Use [View > Text Size > Larger] in your browser menu.\n*''Files:'' Everything about backup will go much better if you [[learn to use Windows Explorer|http://cybercoyote.org/classes/explorer/index.html]].
for The Backup Workshop
BackupWiki
!!! This workshop:\n# This workshop can provide the ideas and tools you'll need to make backup work for you.\n# This workshop will not eliminate the need for you to work to make it happen. ;-)\n# We'll learn better by working with your questions and problems.\n!!! Myths about backup:\n# Let's see how many of these we can identify.\n# ''Myth:'' The first one that comes to mind is "[[I've backed up my C-drive...|http://cybercoyote.org/computer/backup.shtml]]"\n# ''Myth:'' You can recover your files using System Restore. Forgedaboutit: System Restore can only reverse changes in Windows and related files. It does not back up personal data files.\n!!! Essential properties of successful backups:\n# ''Complete:'' Backups work like insurance -- be sure you always cover everything you need to protect. That means [[get organized|Organize for Backup]]. :-) \n# ''[[Verified|VerifyBackups]]:'' Your backups must actually include what you thought they would.\n# ''[[Protected|ProtectingBackups]]:'' If you find your backups are lost or damaged at the time you need them, you had no protection.\n# ''[[Restorable|ValidatedRestore]]:'' Test your restore process before you need it, or it is bound to fail. ;-)
!!! Location: (keep in mind...)\n* If you can't find it, you don't have it. That can happen if you "put it some where special, where you'll be sure to find it."\n* If your house falls down the cliff, you may have trouble accessing your backup.\n* The keyword is "separate" -- separate hard drive, separate optical drive (CD/DVD), or online storage.\n!!! Media:\n* If you can't access it, you don't have it. For example, how are you going to retrieve your old tax records if your old Zip-drive is broken?\n* The characteristics of backup media are tabulated on the [[Backup page|http://cybercoyote.org/computer/backup.shtml]] at our website.\n* You will likely need to transfer your data and backups from obsolete to new media at some time.
