Like most other calamities, a hard drive doesn’t issue a prior warning before crashing.What if you wake up one fine day and switch on your PC to discover that the hard disk has conked out and has taken a toll on your precious data? Even the thoughts of such a thing are enough to send shivers down the spine.

Most people keep convincing them that hard drive crashes only happen to other people. But the reality is that all hard drives of all PCs are vulnerable to crashing and therefore it’s extremely important that you keep a backup your data. This is important unless you want to re-build the entire database from scratch which can indeed be a very painful experience.

I'm sharing with you some easy ways to back up your data to save you from the horror of losing all those pictures, movies, music files and what not.

Disk Imaging
To begin with, take a snapshot of your entire hard drive. This can be easily done through these two backup and disk imaging software programs: Macrium Reflect and Acronis True Image. These applications save everything, including the programs installed on your PC.

Email
Extremely easy-to-use and handy, email is a great way to back up your important files. Gmail offers you almost 2.76 GB of free space. While you won’t be able to back up videos and movies via this method, you can certainly park your important documents at the safe Gmail severs. A good idea would be to create an ID like: yourname.backup@gmail.com. Using the search feature, you can easily locate a particular file.

External Hard Drive
Ergonomically designed, these hard drives can store huge quantities of data. Many external hard drives can password-protect your files and because these are powered by your PC, you would not require an extra power supply. These days, external hard drives with storage capacity of up to 1 TB are easily available.

USB Flash Drive
Colloquially known as pen drives, these cute little sticks can be very handy. cannot store huge chunks of data, they can still easily store a good quantity of your important files. The best thing about them is that they normally around the size of your thumb and you can easily shove them into your pocket. You can store Word documents, Powerpoint Presentations, pictures, mp3 files and even a few movies in case your pen drive has a storage capacity of 8 GB or more.

Mac Time Machine and Windows Backup/Restore
Mac users have a wonderful built-in backup program called Time Machine. After backing up the files, it also restores them with great versatility. It is found in the dock by default but you can also locate it in the applications menu. Also, enjoy the eye-catching animations when you use this program.
Windows too have a facility called System Restore which is automated and is intended to restore your PC in the event of a catastrophic failure or attack by a virus. It can be found in the control panel in Windows 7. Windows ‘Backup’ feature can also be handy, though it’s quite inferior to the other options mentioned in this article.
Apart from this you can also store your data on DVDs and Blu-ray discs. But make sure you use rewritable disks. Remember, creating a backup is the only way to secure your data. Avoid last minute data loss nightmares and start backing up your data regularly

Achieving the Ultimate Joy: Love

Love is an extremely powerful emotion that penetrates a lot deeper than what can be detected on the surface. Love is experienced physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. This potent emotion shapes us as individuals, enriches our lives, and can bring us great personal fulfillment. Human beings were created to be loving individuals that thrive off companionship, love and intimacy. Love should never be compared to sex, though, because sex is merely a physical act; many people have sex all the time without a single inkling of love present. Love is so much more meaningful than sex, because without love, sex is only a lustful physical act shared between two people.

Most people will not be completely happy unless they have a life partner, someone special who they can share their life with. This is why it’s so important to find love in your life, although this is not always as easy as it seems. People are attracted to one another all the time, but simply being attracted to someone doesn’t necessarily mean that love is present—or ever will be. True and everlasting love grows over time, and continues to flourish as long as it’s nurtured. Many people claim to experience love at first sight, and although this may be possible in a few cases, this type of “love” is most likely simple lust that is mistaken for true love. During the rare occasions when love at first sight does occur, two people are able to almost instantly connect on a mental and emotional level, which is a phenomenon.

True joy is only achieved when a person is completely satisfied with his or her life. This means that every aspect of his or her life must be successful, including career objectives, finances and personal relationships. When two people truly connect, they have a great deal in common and they complement each other. They don’t choose to be together based purely on physical attraction alone, because physical attraction is only one aspect of true love. There are many other important aspects that must be present in order for someone to share a joyful, lasting and loving relationship with another human being.

So, if you’re searching for the right person to share the greatest pleasure in life with, then you must first love yourself. You must also seek an appropriate life partner for the right reasons, and not just for sex or money. You must be truly in sync with your chosen mate or you will not experience the ultimate joy that you deserve. You also must not settle for the first person who appears attractive to you. You must ensure that the two of you connect in every way possible and that the two of you are able to transcend in life together in order to enjoy one of the many joys of life that we were meant to experience—love, the ultimate joy.
