[or-roots] Test

[eugenemelvin.roots at comcast.net]

One of the things I enjoy about reading emails on this list and others related list I subscribed to is the fact that I am always learning something new. 





  

And I know we have all heard about backing up our data.   But I do not believe I have heard anyone suggest backing up web sites that are important to you. 





  

Since I have four computers, two for home use and two for travel including researching I am a firm believer in the use of portable hard drives.   I have six of them.   Two in a safe deposit box at all times.   And I rotate them at least once a month. 





  

So If I find a web site on this computer that I want to revisit I save it here and then part of my monthly or pre travel check list it to back everything up on a least two portable hard drives and secure one hard drive and take another one with me when I travel. 





  

Below are the steps I take to access the folder containing the web sites important to me.   I then copy and paste the complete contents of this folder to a new folder on my portable hard drive. 





  

I hope this helps.

P. S My puter crashed about a month ago and I lost all of my wonderful gen sites I had booked, i.e,  BLM, State archives, gen forum, etc.
