And, I transfer my Legacy database from my desktop to my laptop. And, I use flash drives just for that little extra, knowing they would be a last resort. I pray that I am covered should I have (or should I say when I have) a hard drive failure. I also use Evernote, every single day for genealogy and personal use and support them with a premium membership. I hope they continue to function.

In addition to owners' or lessors' business-practice changes, servers' activity can be stopped (say, by electrical power outages) or they can be destroyed by fire, flood, storm and so forth. So many users do not give a thought to what can occur.<br />Geoloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12050268303916428230noreply@blogger.com
