June Classes

Why, When and How to Backup Your C Drive, has been scheduled for Thursday, June 19, 1pm - 3pm.  The backup procedures described in this class are relevant for all currently supported MS Windows Operating Systems.  Everyone who has a computing system they depend on to perform certain tasks, or who has a computer with pictures or other files they would hate to lose, needs to understand backups.  The time to worry about backup procedures is always before they are needed.
This class will cover the reasons one should make backups, what should prompt making a new backup, free backup programs that may be used, and where to place your backups.  Topics include installation of a backup program, an overview of the backup process, demonstration of a backup, and how to create and boot from a Rescue CD to rebuild a damaged C drive.  Class notes by Pete Opland, Instructor Joel Ewing.
