AKICIF -- Thunderbird, author needs clue

[kinzel]

Well,

the new computer arrived and is now online, which is good. The old hard drive was not a total failure and it looks like I have found some of the thunderbird files .. but the last back-up was killed as the drive was going wonky so the best copy of those files I have was a week before that, I guess, if I can find that data among the oddities. I can use a clue or two on this, if anyone has one, like the best way to work this... should I install thunderbird and then try to dig out the old files ... I'm a lot of years from fiddling this kind of stuff on a regular basis and i can't even use my old tree progams ... sigh.

Will check back in between cooking and watching the Ravens ...

Backup

I can't help with the current problem, but you might want to ckeck out Carbonite.com. About fifty dollars a year and constant automatic backup to an offsite encrypted file whenever you are online. When you get a new computer just log on and download the files complete to the last time you were online.

I was looking at that one, plus elephantdrive.com. They have different features. It's a matter of figuring out exactly how you plan to use your backup.
