Backup for the everyday user

As our society becomes more and more dependent on personal computers, backing up one's data becomes a mainstream concern. No longer is it just geeks who need to be concerned with backups. We depend on computers to store our music, movies, documents and some of our most precious memories in digital format. At a price tag of thousands of dollars you could have those memories extracted from your dead hard drive, but there is a less expensive way. For the investment of a little time -- less than an hour -- you can get a program that will backup your valuable documents to a network attached storage (NAS) unit or slave drive.

Cobain is FREE and can be downloaded from http://www.educ.umu.se/~cobian/cobianbackup.htm. Setup is easy and intuitive. Combined with a storage setup whether it is local or remote, Cobain is the backup solution for most people. Let's take a look at how to setup Cobain Backup.

NexStar Network Storage Unit

The NexStar Network Atached Storage (NAS) unit is a highly configurable dedicated computer that has everything removed except what's needed to get it attached to a 10/100 Ethernet LAN and talking to just about any network file system and protocol that is available.

The Unit itself has a few nice features, smart cooling (passive heatsink under the HD) and smart fan. You can connect to either USB (2.0) or Ethernet 10/100 MBit/sec and it can handle HD's up-to half a GB (Parallel, not Serial ATA). The product comes in two colors: black and white.

The product itself is in fact a really tiny dedicated computer that is running on an Operating System, so with that in mind the essence of this product
