Filed under: Utilities, Windows, Macintosh, Linux, Productivity, Open Source Since I became irked with the limitations of Allway Sync's free edition, I've been looking for a good replacement. I've been getting by with the MS Synctoy, but thankfully a kick-ass open source app has once again come to the rescue. Synkron is a powerful, cross-platform synchronization tool that boasts an impressive array of features. During the install the option is given to add a context ...

With the recent leak of Waninkoko’s backup iso loader and the update to it done by Wiigator, it’s now possible to softmod a Nintendo Wii to load burned backup discs created from iso files. I got this working on my Wii a couple of days ago and had to look all over the web to find the correct and most up-to-date directions. I’m going to post what I did and what tools I used in ...

Like a famed race horse or a classic book, you don't just throw away a laptop because it's banged up a little. Even if it seems outdated and underpowered, most any laptop is still small, quiet, and relatively low on power consumption, making it a seriously valuable spare to keep handy—even without a working screen. With some free software, a little know-how, and some creative thinking about your home network, nearly any old laptop can ...

Filed under: Utilities, Windows, Microsoft, Freeware I love Windows XP's file and settings transfer tool. It makes backing up customer data prior to a reformat a painless procedure, and I've never had any problems with the app itself. I've forgotten it doesn't automatically grab .pst files, but that's my own damn fault. But what can you do when Windows won't boot? Running a repair isn't a great option: the setup could run into trouble, and ...

Come ci suggerisce la sempre lodata Wikipedia, Rsync è un software per Unix, che sincronizza file e cartelle minimizzando il trasferimento di dati, utilizzando - quando possibile - la codifica delta (in modo da immagazzinare/trasmettere dati usando le differenze tra i dati sequenziali, al posto del file completo) ed effettuando il mirroring attraverso una sola trasmissione di dati per ogni direzione di comunicazione. Ebbene, tutto ciò è finalmente approdato anche su Windows, mediante un ottimo ...

More than a few commenters had questions about the Gbridge tool for Windows we featured last week, which works on top of your Google account to provide file sharing and remote desktop capabilities. Why does it bother using Google accounts? Is it any better or different than LogMeIn or Techinline? Is it secure? We spent some time checking out Gbridge, and came away impressed with its ease of use and nifty features, along with a ...

The tools will find images in dd dumps, RAM dumps, or swap files.Carving will help to identify and reconstruct files on corrupt filesystems, in slack space, or even after installation of a new operating system, as long as the required data blocks still exist.

photo credit: pfala Digital photography is often thought of as “cheap” or “free” when it comes to snapping away. True, you don’t have to shell out the bucks each time you use your camera (as is the case with film). Also true is the fact that storage media is inexpensive. But the brutal truth of photography, film or digital, is that it costs money to take and store photographs. And if you get serious about ...

We've all heard about the importance of having backups and we all believe that they are not empty words of advice. However, a lot of people add that to their lists of things that need to do one day and procrastinate for far too long on this. Sadly, those who are most diligent about backups are those that have previously suffered loss as a result of a catastrophic hard drive failure and had no backups. ...
