    Do I Need SiteLock For Domain When Site Is Hosted With An All In One?

    Hi. My SiteLock is up for renewal. I used to have a WordPress Site and SiteLock was included in my plan. It is no longer included. My WP site got hacked 3 times, and the final time I took it down because I had signed up with an all-in-one platform, where I intend to rebuild my site. Currently...

    Solved Backup Questions

    For my external drive back-up, I've decided to give the new Ashampoo Pro 15 software a try. Even at full price it's only about $50, so worst case scenario I'm out my money, and it's not much money. It doesn't have the best user reviews on TrustPilot, but the people who do like it REALLY like...

    Solved Backup Questions

    Well, I'm going to do the 90 day free trial! I just got a reply back from support - about 10 minutes after I sent them my question! Here is their reply: Support will be through Synology. As part of the process you'll create a Synology Account, which from there you can reach out to our...

    Solved Backup Questions

    Hi Bastet. After much researching I decided Macrium is a bit advanced for me. I need something simple. It's not that I couldn't learn how to use it, I'd just rather not have to take the time. I need something I can just run with - something created specifically for non-techies like me. I've...

    Solved Backup Questions

    Thank you, Bruce. You are absolutely right. I'm just having such a difficult time finding the right software. I've given up on sending an image to the cloud at this point. As for creating an image on my external hard drive and sending files to the cloud, either the softwares seem too...

    Solved Backup Questions

    Hi Bruce. Yes, back-ups are very important. Even the minor things I have on my computer I wouldn't want to lose. That's why I'm looking into new options. ;-) I could store an external drive in my vehicle, but that seems risky to me. What if my vehicle gets broken into? If I were going to...

    Solved Backup Questions

    Hi Rustys. Thanks for your valuable input! I never thought about the external not working, though I've read it's happened to someone. So, that's a good point. If that were to happen after an internal crash, hopefully the bootable media (thumbdrive) would get my computer working to where I...

    Solved Backup Questions

    Thank you, Bruce. Yes, I understand that uploading/downloading an image can take several hours to many days, and sometimes even weeks! I believe I do have a great internet connection, though I have nothing to compare it to. But, my internet runs pretty fast most of the time in my opinion...

    Solved Backup Questions

    Hello Bruce. All responses are helpful, so thank you for your input! Here's a question. I read somewhere that making an image doesn't matter, because you would have to put in your Windows disk to restore windows anyway. That makes no sense to me. But maybe it does to you? I thought with a...

    Solved Backup Questions

    Thank you for such a clear explanation! If you're not already, you should be making YouTube videos! That said, coming from Carbonite, where I don't look at my backed up files ever and only think about backup when it's time to renew my subscription, this sound a little complicated and time...

    Solved Backup Questions

    I looked up "cloud" in the Macrium forum. It can be done, but to restore I would need to download the image to an external drive apparently. I'm ok with that. I really just want to be able to store the image in 2 places - external drive and cloud. This is why I haven't looked at Macrium...

    Solved Backup Questions

    Ok. I was thinking it would be good to store the image in a cloud backup as well as on the external drive so I'd have an extra copy. Do you know of a cloud service that can upload an image and do incremental backups of it? I know this is possible with many services for files, but it seems not...

    Solved Backup Questions

    Hello! Thank you for your reply. I've looked at Macrium, but I've read it's difficult to use for non-techies. Do you think this is so? If I have detailed instructions that walk me through it, maybe I can do it. That's what I did with Acronis. I got on YouTube and followed a step by step...

    Solved Backup Questions

    Hi everyone. I currently have a Carbonite subscription which is ending soon, and I don't plan to renew it. After doing some reading, it seems I should make a disk image of my hard drive (about 100GB used out of 1TB). So, I bought a 2TB external hard drive for the image (so I'd have room to...
