JANUARY PROGRAM 2011
Webinar with Gene and Linda Barlow.
Protecting, Sharing, and Organizing your Hard Drive
Description:
Doing regular backups of your computer's hard drive is the most important thing you can do to protect the content of your computer. There are many different approaches on how to do backups. Not all of these backups approaches are equal and many of them are quite limited. Gene will introduce you to the more popular backup approaches and point out the advantages and limitation of each approach. He will then describe the backup approach that will give you the best protection of your computer. This will be followed by a demonstration of the best backup utility on the market, Acronis True Image Home 2012. The ease of using this powerful backup product will show you that the best protection possible does not have to be complicated to run.
In today's computer networks, the ability to share conversation and pictures with others is a growing trend. Facebook and Twitter have become overnight sensations. However, these tools are not the best way to share your photos and other computer files with others. Acronis True Image 2012 has introduced a new function that allows you to easily share certain files with your other computers and with friends across the internet. No expensive online storage is needed to use this new facility in True Image 2012. After a short description of the many sharing options available to you, Gene will actually demonstrate how easy it is to use the new Synchronization feature of True Image 2012.
Finally, Gene will describe the various options you have to better organize your hard drive to serve your needs. He will conclude with a demonstrate of the Acronis Disk Director 11 Home utility that will make doing these changes to your computer's hard drive simple and easy to do. Attending this meeting will give you a much better appreciation of how to best use your computer's hard drive. No avid computer user should miss this presentation.
At the end of the meeting, Gene will offer a free software product to each of the attendees to monitor the well being of their own hard drive. He will also offer the two outstanding products he demonstrated at half the normal retail cost for those that wish to try out these exciting products. He backs up his customers with a special Starter Guide and extended technical support. "I want everyone that buys from me to be totally successful in using the products I offer", he says.
