I have a friend that has a body shop and he is using a program called ultramate for his business. He has virueses eating virueses. I want to transfer this software over to an external hard drive. Reformate his computer and then scan the external to make sure that he doesn't have virus on his software. This software has his whole life on it. Do I just reinstall his software and past back his program file or what.
Any Firewire hard drive is best for a MAC. You can get either an empty one and install the software yourself or can buy the external hard drive with software pre loaded.
Do you have backup software installed that is mapped to an external hard drive? The software might be automatically trying to backup your files, but the external hard drive is not plugged in.
Through USB connect them.
I use and recommend Handy Backup, it's easy and reliable backup software for home use.
Backup software is not recommended since if your hard drive fails, your backup fails. It is best to get an external hard drive or to back up your computer in the cloud.
No. you will only need anit-virus software on your main computing station.
The fastest type of external hard drive would be a external 3.0 USB hard drive.
1. To avoid permanent data loss stop using your external hard drive. 2. Download a good recovery software like, Hetman Photo Recovery , Remo Recover or Stellar Phoenix Photo recovery software 3. Join your hard drive to computer. 4. Run the software 5. Scan hard drive with photo recovery program. 6. Save recovered files to another storage (not to you external hard drive, to avoid permanent data loss).
Yes, there is a difference between saving photos on an external hard drive and a USB flash drive. An external hard drive typically has a larger storage capacity and is designed for long-term storage of large files like photos. A USB flash drive is more portable and convenient for transferring smaller amounts of data between devices. Additionally, external hard drives are generally more durable and reliable for long-term storage compared to USB flash drives.
You get another memory storage device, such as an external hard drive, and you copy everything on your hard drive onto the external hard drive, and keep it safe. That way, if your hard drive crashes, then you can take it out, and plug your external hard drive in, and work from that.
You can completely clear your external hard drive by formatting it.
Hopefully you have some anti-virus software. Update the software to the latest version and it will be able to at least quarantine it.
