Getting The Best From Your Internet Connection And Image Backup

 Few people ever seem to realise that the generic, unmodified,
settings provided by their Operating System are, probably, not ideal
for the Internet connection they are using and that they are thus not
getting all the speed and reliability they have paid to get. Tuning
connections isn’t difficult and though it may sound like an arcane
black art it can be done in a way that hides most, though not all, of
the underlying complexities.

 A word of warning backup is
essential if you are to make changes to your system. This is best
achieved via a system image…a type of backup that copies your entire
system onto another drive or discs, the software will, likely, offer to
compress what it copies and will be able to restore from this backup.
Imaging software is an essential purchase IMHO…I take an image of a
newly setup system with all tweaks and updates in place so as to be
able to restore to that at any time…far easier than starting
completely afresh with a new installation in the event of an
unrecoverable crash. Other images are taken on a weekly basis (or more
often) so as to safeguard all my settings and data. Unfortunately
imaging software isn’t available F.O.C. but it is so necessary that
it’s money well spent…I would advise against Norton Ghost (or any
Norton/Symantec software for that matter!) and in favour of Acronis
True Image.

 Now your system is properly safeguarded by an Image backup use the
following software to easily and simply tune your Internet connection
to best advantage.
