Here at thinq_ we're always writing about lost laptops, system crashes, and disasters that can result in precious data disappearing for good. For businesses the loss of customer records, intellectual property, or e-mail archives can be crippling - and home users are likely to be just as upset at the disappearance of th...
Traditionally, backups have been time consuming and complex arrangements that relied on tape drives and often expensive software. While businesses with large data storage systems might still need these, it's never been easier to back up your critical files in a pain-free way.
Most modern computers come with DVD writers capable of chucking up to 4.7GB onto cheap discs - more than enough for a collection of holiday photos. If you need more storage, USB flash drives or external hard drives are inexpensive and hold up to 2TB each - easily enough for the average user's entire media collection.
Although backups can be achieved by simply dragging and dropping your files to your chosen storage device, software is available to make life easier. Microsoft's Backup tool ships in most versions of Windows, while Apple users can opt to buy one of the company's Time Machine systems for set-it-and-forget-it backup conv...
Having a backup is just one part of the puzzle, however: checking that it works is just as important. Old media can degrade, and external hard drives can fail. If you've already got a backup strategy in place, dig out one of your backups and try restoring a selection of files now. If it doesn't work, it's better to kno...
While the point of World Backup Day is to highlight the need for businesses and home users to take backups, it's important to keep on top of the process throughout the year. A backup at the start of a project is great, but if you reach the end and lose everything you'll wish you'd done more frequent backups.
If you're not sure where to start with a backup process, the official World Backup Day website has some great tips. Just remember: a backup is for life, not just for World Backup Day.
Pep Guardiola called for players to get better protection after Leroy Sane was left facing a spell on the sidelines following the 2-0 FA Cup win at Cardiff.
Guardiola was left counting the cost of a fourth round victory secured by first half goals from Kevin De Bruyne and Raheem Sterling.
Sane failed to come out for the second half after Joe Bennett's high tackle left the Germany winger with an ankle injury, and the Cardiff defender was sent off in the final seconds for another poor challenge on City substitute Brahim Diaz.
"He (Sane) will be out for a while - minimum two weeks, three weeks, one month, we will see tomorrow exactly," said City manager Guardiola. "I said many times the only thing they (referees) have to do is protect the players.
"I can accept our disallowed goal, I don't know why but I accept. But please protect the players.
"Not the Man City players, all players. The only thing they can do is that - to protect the players - because it would not happen again.
"It happened once with Leroy, then it happened with Brahim again at the end.
"So for the football in general, and for the players who are the artists, they must do that. That's why we are all here."
City remain in the hunt for an unprecedented quadruple after booking their place in the last 16 of the FA Cup.
Guardiola's side have a 12-point lead at the top of the Premier League, play Arsenal in the final of the Carabao Cup, and resume their Champions League campaign next month.
"There are no words to describe the pride I feel about my players and my team," Guardiola said.
"We have played many games and we do not have a big squad because of so many injuries and players with problems.
"But they are ready to play every three days and I feel something very special about that.
"Playing in the FA Cup away to a Championship team like Cardiff, who are at the top of the league, is so complicated, but we react again like a mature team.
"We are in the draw and hopefully we can have a team at home, that is my wish."
Asked about some of Cardiff's dubious tackling, manager Neil Warnock replied that Manchester City were not blameless.
"They dished it out a bit, they had one or two naughty tackles," Warnock said. "He (Guardiola) is in England, what do you expect?
"I suppose when you're like that, you want everything to be nice, pretty and perfect. But you don't get that here, you get different challenges.
"They're so quick, that's the problem, with the movement and everything else, you think you're there and all of a sudden he's gone."
But Warnock was critical of Bennett's late red card, which rules the full back out of next weekend's crunch Championship trip to Leeds.
"I was disappointed he got sent off," Warnock said. "Obviously he doesn't want to go to Leeds, because it was an absolutely pathetic challenge when he is on a booking.
"To do something like that is disrespectful to his team-mates."

NEW YORK — Dallas Keuchel might not be with the Astros forever. General manager Jeff Luhnow has talked about the team’s window before. But whatever happens, Keuchel wants the Astros to push on further into the playoffs and he thinks this group can do so.
Asked on Saturday night after receiving his Cy Young award if the ceremony fully closed the book on 2015, Keuchel indicated a follow-up performance would really bring closure.
Assuming his health, the next time Keuchel travels to New York will likely be in April, to make the opening day start against the Yankees.
He won’t be well received after last season’s playoffs.
… Besides the national Baseball Writers’ Association of America awards, local New York chapter awards were given out Saturday. The Willie, Mickey and the Duke Award — given to personalities that history is expected to always link together — went to the great trio of A’s pitchers, Barry Zito, Mark Mulder and Tim Hudson....
… The cancellation of the public dinner preceding the BBWAA ceremony was a major bummer for many on Sunday. It took a great effort for the ceremony to be held at all, and the travel situation in the New York area was so miserable that cancellation was deemed necessary. But, the fact that a ceremony was held left some w...
David Eide, a 78-year-old from New Jersey and a former restaurateur, sat for a long time in the lobby of the midtown Hilton as people arrived for the ceremony. He wondered why, if it was indeed canceled, so many folks in suits were arriving.
Eide didn’t know how he’d spend the rest of his night.
Eide wasn’t sure if and/or when refunds would be given. Tickets cost $225 each.
… Here’s what commissioner Rob Manfred said last week at MLB’s owners meetings in Florida when asked about the Astros-Cardinals hacking situation in a press conference.
“I want to deal with the Cardinals hacking issue when I’m comfortable that I know all of the facts,” Manfred said. “Maybe even more than a domestic policy — or domestic violence situation, the government is uniquely positioned to know exactly what happened there.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — The Tennessee Department of Health says more than 600 kindergarteners enrolled in Shelby County Schools last year without records showing they were fully vaccinated.
The Commercial Appeal reported Monday that the state agency says those children also didn't have either of the religious or medical waivers allowing attendance without a full set of immunizations. Of the nearly 8,900 children in county schools in January 2018, 503 had incomplete records and 124 didn't have any records ...
The district director of exceptional children and health services, Shawn Page, says records can show as incomplete for a variety of reasons, including forms being from another state. District officials say the data has prompted it to hire at least four compliance officers.
A KILLER driver who ruined the lives of a Teesside family is back behind bars after leading police on a high-speed chase.
Dominic Gavin Huggett drove his van into an unmarked police car while trying to evade arrest, just seven months after being released from prison.
Officers launched a pursuit after recognising the 42-year-old behind the wheel.
He was declared Cleveland Police’s most wanted man in 2005 following a hit-and-run offence in 2003 which caused the death of 86-year-old Eliza Betty Cooper.
The great-grandmother, known as Nana Cooper, was hit by Huggett’s car on June 8, 2003, while being helped into a taxi on Westbury Street in Thornaby. She died shortly afterwards in hospital.
Her son Barry and his wife Patricia, who had been celebrating their 30th wedding anniversary, were also hit by the speeding, uninsured, unlicensed driver and suffered devastating long-term mobility and psychological problems.
Huggett was jailed for seven-and-a-half years for causing death by dangerous driving and witness intimidation as he threatened a woman who was in his BMW at the time of the incident.
But just nine months into the sentence, the Coopers’ distress was further exacerbated when they received a letter stating that Huggett had escaped from prison.
The hunt finally ended in May 2006 after police swooped on a house in Norton. Shortly after, he received an extra six months added on to his sentence.
Huggett’s latest offence occurred just seven months after his release, while he was on licence and banned from driving.
Teesside Crown Court heard how the brazen criminal was first spotted behind the wheel by police on Newsham Road in Eaglescliffe on February 7 this year.
Prosecuting, Richard Wilson said Huggett almost hit a police car as he sped out of a driveway.
Then on Aislaby Road, Huggett hit an unmarked police car. After dumping the vehicle on Yarm High Street, Huggett hid the van keys behind groceries on a supermarket aisle shelf before making off.
He pleaded guilty to dangerous driving, failing to stop after an accident, driving while disqualified, failing to report an accident and driving without insurance.
His 28 previous convictions included burglary, driving while disqualified in 1989, dangerous driving in 1996, as well as the horrific offence in 2003.
Defending, Adrian Dent said Huggett “apologised for the manner of his driving” and pointed out the damage to the police car “wasn’t great”.
Judge Michael Taylor sentenced Huggett, of Woodside, Ingleby Barwick, to 21 months imprisonment and banned him from driving for an additional two years.
Barry Cooper sadly died two weeks ago.
Mrs Cooper, a former care worker, remains wheelchair bound and will never work again.
The Gazette contacted the Cooper family but, due to their recent bereavement, they did not wish to pass comment on the sentence.
Kevin Held, who formed Stage 1 Productions to promote the American Quilt Memorial honoring lives lost on Seot. 11, 2001, holds up a photo of several quilts next to members of the Philadelphia Police Department in September 2007. An AP investigation has found that that $713,000 held raised for the quilt is gone — and th...
A WOMAN who was found dead outside a multi-storey car park in Bournemouth is believed to have taken her own life, an inquest heard.
Susan Lang was discovered lying unresponsive on the ground next to Madeira Road car park by a member of staff from Bournemouth police station on Thursday, April 4.
Paramedics were called at around 6am and they confirmed 56-year-old Mrs Lang had died at the scene.
Police reviewed CCTV footage at the car park, which showed her entering the car park alone and going to the top floor. A note was later found in her vehicle suggesting an intention to take her own life.
Mrs Lang was an actuary who lived in Camel Green Road, Alderholt, Thursday's inquest heard.
Coroner's officer Phillipa Morgan said a post-mortem examination was carried out on Tuesday, April 9, and found the cause of death to be multiple injuries.
The inquest was adjourned until November 12.

Overall ridership and Blue and Green lines all hit records on Sept. 1.
Metro Transit shattered a single-day ridership record when passengers took nearly 370,000 rides on buses, light-rail and commuter trains on Sept. 1, a night when the Twins, Vikings, Gophers and Saints all had home games.
The Thursday evening games, along with standard rush-hour traffic, helped spread fears of bumper-to-bumper congestion across the metro area, sending fans to public transportation.
Thousands more who headed to the State Fair helped Metro Transit surpass the previous record of 355,665 set on Sept. 3, 2015, according to figures released Friday.
Light-rail ridership also hit a record with 117,063 rides taken on the Blue and Green lines, which beat the old mark of 100,909 set last year.
“This strong ridership is another indicator that when Minnesotans have access to a robust transit system, they use it,” Lt. Gov. Tina Smith said in the Metro Transit news release. Smith and Gov. Mark Dayton have been pushing the Legislature to approve funding for the controversial $1.9 billion Southwest Light Rail proj...
A majority of the 369,626 rides taken on Sept. 1 were on regular-route or express buses, the agency said.
“Facing one of the busiest days in our history, we delivered safe, effective service that allowed residents to focus on the festivities instead of the frustrations that come with traffic,” General Manager Brian Lamb said.
A record-setting year at the State Fair contributed to record transit ridership. During the fair’s 12-day run, just over 632,500 rides were provided to and from the fairgrounds, surpassing last year’s record ridership by nearly 10 percent. The highest single-day State Fair ridership was Sept. 3, when Metro Transit prov...
The majority of State Fair rides (565,396) were taken on express buses operating from 13 Park & Rides throughout the metro area. The busiest lot was just east of the Mall of America in Bloomington. The Northstar Fridley Station saw the biggest ridership increase, the agency said.
Ridership on the new A-line, a rapid bus service between Rosedale Center and the 46th Street Station, was 6,100. The Blue Line had its busiest day ever with 58,955 rides, eclipsing the old record of 55,693 rides set on Sept. 2, 2010, also a Thursday when Twins and Vikings had home games on the same night.
Fourteen-man Slaughtneil suffered All-Ireland Club Football Final heartbreak as Dr Crokes edged a 1-9 to 1-7 victory in a dour Croke Park battle.
Padraig Cassidy's goal put Slaughtneil ahead but his sending off in first-half injury-time was a key moment after he lashed out at Kieran O'Leary.
His retaliation, after being fouled, left Slaughtneil on the back foot.
Dr Crokes played keep ball late on as their goalscorer Colm Cooper completed his set of major football medals.
Slaughtneil had been aiming to add to the club's All-Ireland camogie triumph two weeks ago in a season which also saw their hurlers lifting the Ulster title.
The Emmet's players were also aiming to atone for their 2015 All-Ireland final defeat by Galway side Corofin.
Even before Cassidy's dismissal, Slaughtneil were struggling to get their key man Chrissy McKaigue on the ball but the sending off made that a virtually impossible task in the second half.
With Gavin White operating as the spare man, Dr Crokes largely dictate the second half with the Derry champions struggling to break through the Kerry club's defensive shield when they did venture into the Killarney team's territory.
Shortly after the resumption, the Ulster champions did have a penalty appeal after Meehaul McGrath ended up on the turf but referee Maurice Deegan looked to have made the right call in waving play on.
Gaelic football purists will have been uneasy with the finale to the game as the Crokes, basketball-style, held on to the ball for close to four minutes to run down the clock.
Cassidy's dismissal made that an obvious tactic and there was little a tired Slaughtneil outfit could do about it.
The Slaughtneil goalscorer could have few complaints about his red card as he appeared to catch O'Leary with a strike to the groin area - after a barge on the Crokes player by Patsy Bradley had led to the Kerryman being pushed against Cassidy.
Cassidy had been arguably Slaughtneil's best player in the opening period which made his dismissal even more keenly felt by the Ulster champions.
Slaughtneil full-back Brendan Rogers' upfield charges were a feature of the first half as he was involved in his team's opening three scores - including Cassidy's 13th-minute goal.
