53 Of The Best Tech Blogs Out There. On Twitter yesterday, I asked my followers for some of their favorite blogs.
I got some great answers, which I’ll share, but what was more interesting to me was how many people were in my situation: liking reading blogs, and finding it harder and harder to find new good ones. I’ve also realized that, for most people, blogs are still a totally foreign concept. We don’t know how to find good ones, how to use those to find others, or how to connect to this whole crazy blogging world. I think that’s why the reactions to my lists of great business blogs and great blogs for foodies were hits. Let’s be honest: my thing is tech.

As such, the backups are performed different ways and actually stored in different physical locations. Part 1 of this series deals with backing up your system – generally drive C: for most Windows users. Part 2 will cover backing up your pictures, music, and video. For system backups, or “images” as they’re commonly called, there’s a free utility called DriveImage XML that will make an image of any Fat32/NTFS partitions you have and runs right from within Windows (XP or Vista). By putting together a simple batch file and scheduling it via Windows Task Scheduler, your system can automatically make images (backups) of itself on a recurring basis.
To do this, download DriveImage XML either from their site or my freeware site and install it.
