World Backup Day The March 30th post by the following blog is worth checking to see the various options for backing up all of your important work and personal files. April 1st was World Backup Day. Even though you may have missed it there is still time to protect all of your files to make them transportable as well as protect them from a future computer crash or accidental loss. I personally use Dropbox, Google, and a portable harddrive as well as my hdrive at work. I am always ready to work for Harrisburg at any time and anywhere. http://educationaltechnologyguy.blogspot.com/

The guides are easy to use and read and a great resource. http://moourl.com/j73fa
