When a backup isn't enough.

When a backup isn't enough.

I talk a lot about backups and I mean it. however I have found lately that my backups are not enough to fix my problems.

I will say that when you are looking for a backup program find one that let's you restore in different ways. specifically the ability to restore FULL, SPECIFIC FILES, AND SPECIFIC APPS.

Also a good crash log app helps a lot.

Lately I have been getting frequent crashes where my crash log simply states that "applications" is to blame. No specific program. This has led me to believe that I have a bad/corrupt or otherwise compromised system file. Simply restoring the system after a hard reset will just bring it back. So I have needed to do a restore only specific apps. I restore just the apps I want, no unneeded preferences, system files, or temp files.

This has been a real life saver for fixing these untrackable system crashes.

Well back to the tweaking.
