Macrium Reflect
Dear Members,
We seem to discuss back up of data files (word documents, photos, etc.) as a way to save your valuable information at every meeting. We have all experienced the emotion of loss (no different than having cat hair stuck between your front teeth) when we can't find that photo because of a computer crash.
We want to avoid hearing the yelling and screaming along with the bouncing of the forehead on the computer desk.
If you look to the right you will notice a new page button (Macrium Full Mirror Backup) has been added to show the steps necessary to create a complete mirror image of your computer hard drive using the free version of Macrium Reflect.

Backing up of CONTACTS
We
have a lot of discussion on the backing up of contact list. We will use Windows
Live Mail as the example of computer mail clients and Comcast for web based
mail clients.
Windows
Live Mail Example
Step
#1 – Open Windows Live Mail and look for the icons shown below. They could be
presented in a vertical list which I like; They can also be shown in a horizontal
format.
Step
#2 – Use the left mouse button to click and open the contacts screen.
|
 |
The
contact screen is show below. You will find your own list of contacts. My
contacts are shown in a vertical list (see the blue circle below).
Step
#3 – Click the export icon show in the green circle with the left mouse
button.
|
|
|
When
you click the “export button in Step #3” A new window will open which
requires the user to provide information as to where you desire to save the
contact list. Note: I have chosen to place the file on the desktop for easy
access.
Step
#4 – Tell the computer where you want to save the exported contact file. Note:
orange circle.
Step
#5 – Tell the computer what you want to name the file which will be created.
Note: yellow circle.
Step
#6 – After you have told the computer where to send the contacts file and
given it a unique file name, click the next button (shown green) to move to
the next step.
|
 |
After
you complete Step #6 by clicking the “next button” a new window will appear
(shown below).
Step
#7 – Select the fields you wish to export. This is done by placing a “checkmark”
by moving over the checkbox in front of each field with the mouse and
clicking the left mouse button to place the checkmark in the box. By habit, I
have found it useful to take the time and click all checkboxes. See blue
circle.
Step
#8 – Click “Finish (green circle) with the left mouse button and the computer
will generate the file and close the wizard.
|
 |
Comcast
Example
Step
#1- Open up the Comcast or Xfinity web site to obtain access to your e-mail
client. Logon and password is required.
Note:
When you are properly logged into your Comcast client the web page show in
the browser should look similar to what is shown below.
Note:
Comcast does not use the word “Contacts” they use “Address Book” in place of
contacts. They are the same except for names. Namely a list of your friends
etc. contact information.
Step
#2 – Open the Comcast “Address Book” by clicking on the link provided with
the left mouse button (shown with the green circle).
|
 |
After
the mouse click in Step #2 a new window will open (shown below).
Comcast
has provided a group of options for managing your address book. They are show
in the orange square below.
Check
for duplicate contacts in your address book.
Import
contacts from other sources to your address book.
Export
– moving your contacts
Print
– Print a copy of your contact list within the address book.
|
 |
Note:
This is the same place where you can add a new “contact” to your Comcast “Address
Book” as well as create groups for your contacts in your Comcast “Address
Book.”
