CD Backups

Friday, February 1st, 2008

Very important, should be done every day but at LEAST once a week, even if you have FileMaker Server.
For those of you using Server and CDBurnerXP, I’ve put together a step-by-step guide to backing up the very latest versions of your files.
It is quicker to backup a backup on the external hard drive, but to start off with it’d be best to save the absolute up-to-date version.

You can find a PDF of the instructions here:
CDBurnerXP Tutorial for Server

I hope this is a help to people.

Goodteith Weekend post mortem

Monday, August 21st, 2006

The first “Getting more from Goodteith” training weekend is all over, and everyone managed to get through it. Sally has stopped cooking this morning, Alistair is seeing some teeth and things are getting back to normal.
We hope everyone managed to take plenty away from the weekend: we certainly learnt a huge amount about putting on courses. Next time will definitely have course handouts, and Elaine’s instructions will posted on this site over the next few days as she writes them.
We will put together this extra file Alistair made on Saturday and make it available to download. Feel free to change away, & we promise never ever to touch it again so you can keep all the letters you make in it.

Thanks to Dental Directory for the wine.

A huge thanks to Trossachs Backpackers for letting us use the hostel all weekend. It’s a fantastic facility and we’d definitely like to do future courses there as well.
