After struggling with version 10 and finding several nasty bugs and lousy tech support, I am moving to a different solution. I've been using BackupExec since version 6 and this is the absolute worst given the cost and effort. The worst problem is the coruption of the catalog when a backup job...

Ok.. I need to purchase a new crimper after some #**#@@*( HEAD stole my AMP crimper and dies from my truck the other day. I have had that AMP since 1995 and needless to say I am behind the curve to the new ones. I see cheap ones that look good but do they actually work? THe requirement is...

Here is a trick for those with infested systems. Use BartPC to build a custom self-running Windows CDR with adware and stinger added to it. This works alot like KNOPPIX but allows you to read/write the C: drive so you can delete unwanted files etc. The average size of the disk is 160meg. I'm...
