Backup solutions are the foundation of data protection, and the first line of defense in case of system failure or data loss of any kind. Backup solutions are the most basic
Protection for computer data in case of a system failure of any kind. Data is saved onto media separate from production systems so it can be retrieved if and when production systems go down, or data is lost for any reason.
But there are vital tools that can, first, make sure that backups are performed in a timely manner, and second, catch data that may not have been backed up in case of accidental deletions. These solutions round out a backup system and, in fact, complete it.
Because of the sheer amount of data needed to be stored and the time required for backup, fast data transfer rates are constantly being addressed. While advances such as Network-Attached Storage (NAS) have greatly assisted in dealing with this problem, one basic hindrance to fast data transfer is file fragmentation. When dealing with gigabytes of data in files that might exist in tens, hundreds or even thousands of fragments, the
I/O and network traffic necessary to transfer it is considerably-and unnecessarily-increased. Such situations slow backups substantially, and can also result in aborted backups that do not complete in the limited time allowed.
A common hindrance to backups, however, despite ever-advancing technologies,
is file fragmentation. Fragmentation already causes problems in day-to-day file access, as a file split into hundreds or even thousands (it's more common than you might think) of fragments is going to take considerably longer to access. Multiply that by all the data files in all an enterprise's computer systems-because a backup procedure must access all of those files-and it can be seen what a nighmarish problem file fragmentation can be
to backups in terms of backup time.
The best way to ensure that backups occur rapidly and within their allotted times is to employ a defrag solution that is always working, that allows for a drive to be consistently in a defragmented state. A product such as Diskeeper meets this qualification.
Another product to fully round out a backup scheme is Undelete, which provides real-time data protection in case of accidental deletions. If a file is saved to a local drive, such an accidental deletion can be recovered from the Windows Recycle Bin. But today, most files are saved remotely to a file server, and accidental deletions are completely lost. IT personnel must then engage in a time-consuming search through backup, restoring the version of the file that existed at the time the last backup was performed.
Once the file is restored from backup, there is more added time, however, as now the user must bring that file back up into the state it was in when deleted. Worse, if the file has been created since the last backup, it must now be re-created from scratch.
Backup solutions are essential-and so are these vital tools to make them complete.

Downloading free games
A lot of players are searching for websites to download games for free. You can use any search engine, start searching for keywords like “download games for free” or “game downloads” and you get millions of search results. But the question is whether there are really any places to get your free games.
There are risks faced by many gamers today when they download computer games at these free websites. One most common problem is that in the process of downloading, their computers get infected with all kinds of adware’s, their system end up suffering from slow performance. This has become a fact when downloading from the internet; we have heard this happening again and again. So when your computer loses the ability to function properly and you have to call in a technician for professional assistance, those downloads are now not free by any means.
Another problem that happens to people who download games at free sites is that some of the games are not really full. They are pirated copies of the original games. Now, it is not advisable to download these to play as you can get a lot of legal troubles by doing so.
Fortunately, while you cannot find free games to play without getting caught in the problems mentioned, they are still available for very affordable prices at paid membership services. Basically, for a one-time fee, you can download games at these sites without having to worry about spy ware, adware or legal problems.
Not only that, the selection of games is huge and you can definitely find a choice game to download and play. This option is popular among teens and young gamers who get tired of the games they play very quickly. Perhaps it is because they are finishing their games at such an incredibly fast pace. If you are interested in a constantly updated site to download full PC games

Building A Gaming Rig
This Video is part 1 of 3 on "Building a KICKASS Gaming Rig". In this video, I will outline how to select the correct hardware. The average computer user still purchases pre-built systems. The reason for this is that most find selecting the right components and installing them a very daunting task. This Video is intended to help you build your own high end gaming computer system. Please remember though, that this video is intended as a general guide. This is an older video so a little of the technology is changed like DDR3. And the Intel core i7.As well as a couple other things, but other than that it’s a good video.

Battle of the Budget Gaming Graphics Cards
The Contenders: $95 to $250
We have quite a lineup this time around. We burned through a pile of nine graphics cards from six different brands. We're sort of separating the gang into two groups: those that cost between $150 and $250, and those that price at $150 or below. The pricing we used was generated from scouring through a number of computer parts Web retailers and creating an approximate average. See Full Article Here

Archos 5 Internet Media Tablet
Archos, known for its multi-talented portable video players, has just busted out a new one: the Archos 5 Internet Media Tablet. The shiny player can be equipped with attachments that turn it into a digital video recorder, TV set, or GPS navigator. In its default form, its 4.8-inch 800 x 480-pixel touchscreen does justice to a variety of video formats.
It's also adept at Web surfing thanks to Wi-Fi, letting you let you browse the Web, watch YouTube video, or answer your e-mail wherever you can find a wireless connection. There's an optional 3G modem attachment on the way, too, letting you connect over a cellular network. We took the 60GB version of the Archos 5 ($350) for a spin, flexing its versatility to the limits.
Cooler Master Storm Scout ATX Mid-Tower Black Case
Cases are among the most important components of the computer. After all, when you are showing off your computer to your friends at a LAN party, it won't do at all to have a drab boring case. Also, the case holds all of the other computer components inside, meaning that if you purchase a case too small for your needs the case will be limiting what you can expand with. Cooler Master manufactures cases, power supplies, cooling solutions for the graphics card and CPU, and more computer related accessories. They have innovated with their case designs including airflow throughout the chassis, water-cooling solutions and more. Today's review is on the Cooler Master CM Storm Scout case the latest in a long line of cases from them. The focus of this case is the LAN Party. Stealth panel for tuning your lights. Integrated fan LED controller to turn on/off internal fan LEDS
• Steel reinforced carrying handles for secure and efficient mobilization. This carrying handle is inspired by assault rifle charging handles

The Antec Nine Hundred hardcore gaming case. Now you can own all the competition with this ultra-mean case in classic black finish. $108.60 XP PRO OPERATING SYSTEM I got On E Bay $51.00 For A Total Of $1,252.49
Above is the computer I built over the last couple weeks I got most everything at tiger direct except for the case and the XP pro operating system. I wanted to see how much money I would save compared to getting a gamer pc at the store. To my surprise not only did I save more than $500.00 dollars but I got a much better system. I wanted to use the DDR3 memory I got two 8800 GT video cards 520 MB DDR3. Most of the gamer computers come with only one card some don’t even have a operating system installed.
Below are a couple examples of the gamers I found on the internet most of them still are DDr2, and only have one video card. Some of the higher end ones have Intel i 7 and DDR3 but at the cost of $3000.00 and above. Because of the cost of the Intel i7 is about $1000.00 dollars. With the money I saved I’ll be able to get the 3D glasses and the monitor that is needed to run the
NVidia GeForce 3D Vision Kit and the Samsung Syncmaster 2233RZ 22" 3D Gaming LCD Monitor - 120Hz, 1680x1050, DVI, VGA. The system I built will have no problem running them. Plus I can upgrade with a third video card and add extra memory with no problem.
This will bring my total cost to $1836.70. Awesome I can watch video in 3D on my new 22 inch monitor with my new high end gamer pc for under $2000.00 dollars.
