Ramblings of an old Doc

 

Everyone knows I believe Acoronis’ backup software to be the “Gold Standard”  of backup and recovery software. No discussion about that.

Here’s a great, scary Halloween deal!

For half price of Acronis you’ll get that AND -  Malware’s Anti-Malware PRO for FREE!

 

 

 

Please note: If you use PayPal: Your order MUST BE PAID by 10/31 or it will not be delivered

 

Oh yes….  Once again the Community owes yrag a “Thanks, yrag”

He sent me this so he won’t need the Forum signature he asked Jafo for:  “What? You didn’t backup? You  #%*&@$&  idiot!”

Thanks, bud. For all you do.

Interesting deal for a great product.

But, having read the info, can anyone tell me in plain English what this would give me over the 2010 version I already have? It's just there, working in the background, no issues at all.

Thanks for the link.

Changes in scheduler — added two options:
1. "startup delay", which allows for the running of tasks on a computer start with delay.
2. "retry on failure", which performs several retries to complete a task before it is declared failed;

This makes the upgrade worth it

Thanks yrag and thank you too, Doc. Essential I have a good backup plan now I'm skinning.

I got the e-mail, and it's a great deal.  Going to order today.

Ordered mine today.  Really great deal!

I ordered mine and got the Acronis deal but the MalwareByte's deal was pulled.

Bummer. No email to that effect. Maybe due to time zone stuff? They're located in San Jose, CA... you'd have to ask Acronis about it, though.

Just checked my email. Got a second one from Acronis offer good until 10/31 midnight... but the Malwarebytes offer (see OP screenshot) is gone.

 

I know that doesn't make you feel any better, bud... but at least you know it ain't the size of your feet that did it.

Looks like I picked it up right in time...I got in on the deal yesterday afternoon and the MalwareByte's was still included.

on Oct 30, 2011

I jumped in last night and the deal was gone oh dog pooh!

Anyway I use MS Security Essentials and MalwareBytes for scanning so no big loss.  Still I got a good deal.

Thanks for posting this.

And on a related note I currently have just 1 internal WD 1TB Cavier Black Sata 3 HD and I'm thinking what should I do for a backup drives.  Saw a 1TB Verbatim USB 3 drive with 7 year limited warranty considering it.

Any other suggestions?

I'd say look for your deals on Newegg. They have ratings... and you can always get a quickopinion here on the site... I'm not the hdd expert but starkers knows a good deal, BDBF and he has a heart of gold. Other people's gold ( ) what with him being the Cap'n.

The other good resource are the gamers since many of them build their own machines... pop over to Elementals Forum and ask... they won't bite. Much.
