NightSneak's Snoop Scoop

While all the Fleet members are discussing the things that most people use that should get backed up, I thought I would provide some links to how to back up other things that a lot of people use, but aren’t as well-known. Things like other e-mail clients than Outlook or Outlook Express, your favorite IM programs, even Linux. 

Here are instructions to backup several other e-mail clients.

AIM, the newest versions of ICQ, MSN and Yahoo all store your contacts on its servers, not just on the local machine. This means that when you reinstall the IM program, you sign up again with your old ID, and your contacts are pulled from the client’s server. Here is the manual way of backing up your ICQ contacts and history.

And here is a software program that allows you to save many other IM programs’ logs.

While PC’s and Windows are the most widely used computer and operating system, Macs and Linux are used by a very large percent of the computer population. Here is a little help for both of them.
