David Lawrence: For a great movie and we have no idea why * so much.

Max: That*s why we returned it.

David Lawrence: Really?

Max: Yeah we returned the full screen version just because we are you know--

David Lawrence: You want the wide screen *

Max: Obsessed with wide screen that*s why we had laser disc back in the *80s and the *90s and.

David Lawrence: Alright the Geek Speak phrase for this hour is Backup, Backup and it is brought to you by our friends over at Mac OS X Unwired the book by Tom Negrino and Dori Smith a complete guide to wireless information for Mac users. If you are thinking of going wireless as a connection to the Internet this book will show you what Mac OS X is capable of doing www.macosxunwired.com. We are also brought to you by the amazing Safety Laser Flare. The Rescue Laser Flare is visible up to 20 miles away at night, 3 miles during the day. It*s even visible underwater, hike, dive, sail, drive with the safety device that can be used in every weather condition. Especially if you are heading down on a holiday weekend to enjoy the outdoors go to www.safetylaser.com. Now Backup well we talk about backup on this show all the time when people have problems with their computers. One of the first questions I ask is do you have a backup? And sometimes people say yes because they have copied their you know what they think are the most important files off onto a CD or have a D drive and E drive in their machine, a second drive that they sort of put things on to. But really backing up your data to engineer a complete and total backup so that when disaster strikes you can restore your data back onto a new hard drive, back on to a brand new machine whatever it takes. Backup itself is a form that you can horn to an art that you can create as a science, that you can make sure you are protected. Don*t think that by copying that big report that*s due next week you have backed up your computer. And please don*t fall prey to those who will tell you that all you need to do is backup your documents. I believe and I espouse in 10 Quick Steps to Perfect Backups that you should do a complete backup of your hard drive. And then do daily snapshots or more than just one a day, daily snapshots of the data as it changes.
