Copy And Move Your Files Faster With TeraCopy.

Software November 13th, 2007

I’ve been using this program for a while now and i love it! TeraCopy is a program designed to copy and move files at the maximum possible speed. It allows you to Pause and Resume file transfers. TeraCopy uses dynamically adjusted buffers to reduce seek times while Asynchronous copy speeds up file transfer between two physical hard drives. In case of copy error, TeraCopy will try several times and in the worse case just skips the file, not terminating the entire transfer. File list makes sure that all the files that are copied are listed and if any errors found during the process, it will be listed there. Also, it’s seamless integration with Windows Explorer allows you to keep working with files as usual.

TeraCopy is available both as a Freeware and a Paid version, but the freeware contains all the features that are required by a Home user and can satisfy one’s need.

You can download TeraCopy Here.

How To Move Installed Applications To Another Location

Software, Tips & Tricks November 12th, 2007

Consider this scenerio: You have some programs installed in drive C and now the drive is running out of space. You wish to reallocate the programs to another drive but cut-pasting the programs won’t work. You don’t even have the setup files of those programs, so you can’t reinstall them on another drive. What will you do? Enter Application Mover

Application Mover is a tool that relocates installed programs from one path to another on your hard disk. Application Mover takes files found in the path specified in the ‘Current Path’ field and moves them to the ‘New Path’ path. Application Mover scans the windows registry for references to files located in the ‘Current’ field and changes those references to the ‘New’ path. Application Mover also scans all windows shortcuts in the Start Menu and adjusts path references to the new program location. Finally, *.ini and Install.log files present in the original program path are checked for strings matching the old path location. If found, these strings are changed to the new location. Confirmation dialogs are available if you enable the ‘Confirm changes’ checkbox . If a file is ‘busy’ and cannot be changed to the new location, a reboot prompt is offered. Pending changes are then completed after the reboot.

You can download the application Here. The downside though, that this is not freeware.

Revert Your WordPress Incoming Links To Technorati.

Software, Tips & Tricks November 5th, 2007

If you have recently upgraded your WordPress installation to 2.3+, you would have noticed that the new Dashboard in Wordpress 2.3 no longer displays incoming links via Technorati, but instead uses Google Blog Search! this would have be fine if it displayed incoming links to your site from other sites, however, this is not the case, since Google Blog Search displays your own posts as incoming links, which of course isn’t practical at all, and makes it very hard for you to track back who’s actually linking back to you.

For the time being, Technorati does a better job than Google blog search, Having said that, and to resolve this issue, you can download a plug-in created just for this purpose called Nusuni Technorati Links Wordpress plugin, which will completely replace the Google Blog Search feature with Technorati again.

Another nice feature about this plug-in is that you can configure the Blog URL so that if you have Wordpress installed at youdomain.com/blog, but you want to see all links coming to yourdomain.com, you can configure this option.

DriveImage XML, The Ultimate Backup Tool.

Software November 4th, 2007

This little piece of software is an absolute favorite of mine, its a necessity that has made my life much easier, its a easy to use and reliable program for imaging and backing up partitions and logical drives. The program allows you to backup logical drives and partitions to image files, browse these images, view and extract files, restore these images to the same or a different drive, copy directly from drive to drive.

With DriveImaga XML you don’t need to worry about windows crashes, system failures or anything of that sort, You can use the program to create an image of your C partition and store that image on a different partition, or on a DVD, and if god forbid your windows crashes or your drive dies, there is no problem, all you need to do is run DriveImage, navigate to the restore file you created and within minutes you can have your PC restored its original state.

and because it uses Microsoft’s Volume Shadow Services (VSS), it allows you to create safe “hot images” even from drives currently in use. Images are stored in XML files, allowing you to process them with 3rd party tools, so you’ll never again be stuck with a useless backup. Restore images to drives without having to reboot. DriveImage XML also runs from a WinPE boot CD-ROM. Which is also another excellent tool you need to have, The WinPE boot CD is basically a stripped down Windows XP Live CD (meaning you run Win XP directly from the CD) which comes pre-istalled with some applications you need to troubleshoot and fix your pc.

This program is fast, effecient, small, and FREE. I am not going into the details of how to use, because if you decide to give it a try, i am certain you’ll be able to figure it out by yourself, its really that awesome. You can download it from the publishers website where you will also find detailed instructions for using it with the WinPE boot CD-ROM.

DriveImage XML runs under Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 and Windows Vista. The program will backup, image and restore drives formatted with FAT 12, 16, 32 and NTFS.

If you don’t have DriveImage, Grab it Now!

With the latest data backup applications like DriveIamge XML, data security in case of any hard drive failure is much more convenient than any other conventional method that required the physical access to the backup computer files. Specially when there is an online file sharing, there is an acute need of the online backup facility to ensure the proper recovery of the data along with data recovery hardware.
