Even better would be to an SD card since that would not protrude from the laptop’s form factor and so would be amenable to an automatic backup strategy. It doesn’t make sense to even trust a hard disk, so changed files should also go to an USB stick or other external storage, at least daily. The moral is, I suppose, to use multiple backup strategies even over the course of a few days of travel. That TechCon article, and too much other work, went to the bit bucket. A further configuration change tells it to no longer save backups of deleted files. After installing the new version it remembers the various IP addresses and folders that get synced, but the configuration changes to simply copy the Windows files to the Mac and delete all changed laptop files. Back home from the conference the first sync using the new version deleted all of the work done while traveling. GoodSync has been pestering me for a while to get an update, which I finally did. The phone constantly prompts for a cloud sign-in till one figures out how to delete that feature.Īdvice to developers: never add a feature that will annoy the user. However, the iPhone, too, is subject to some of this stupidity: a recent OS upgrade added new cloud functionality that is enabled by default. A single update request then replaces all of the old programs in one operation. On the other hand, it is good that the programs improve and sometimes get additional functionality.Īpple got updates mostly right on the iPhone and iPad: apps just show a flag that a new version is available they don’t issue annoying request for attention. And not worrying is a big stress reliever.One can argue that most of these updates are to fix bugs, which means we’re constantly forced to deal with vendors’ defective products. All of our family photos, at least the electronic ones, are backup through GoodSync. My wife, who works with me, has GoodSync on her computer. ![]() I also have my personal files backed up and kept sperate from my business files. Whenever I buy a new computer, I put GoodSync on it. ![]() When I travel I take my external hard drive with me in my computer case. Now every file I save is automatically backed up a few seconds after I save it. I finally decided to buy a portable hard drive and look for a software solution that would automatically backup my files. I have massive amount of files and many links to web background. The big boys like Drop box, simply were not right for me. It never set up properly or quit after a time. If I lost files, I'm out of business or at least significantly hurt. I'm talking all files including accounting files, news releases, feature articles, planning - everything. All of my company files were first on a desktop and then on successive laptops. I started Sterling Public Relations in 2002.
