Safer System Organizations Home Page

"You have NOT been hijacked."

But this in not the page you were looking for, is it? See how SaferSystem.org has helped thousands of people make well-informed decisions about protecting their computer systems...

Student Teacher with StudentDear Reader,

My name is Velma. I have been hired to help you become just a little bit safer while you travel the Internet.

Not meaning to be sneaky, but it is easy to see some information you are freely giving out: Your IP address is 38.107.191.111 and your computer is broadcasting this code: CCBot/1.0 (+http://www.commoncrawl.org/bot.html). Using data like that, people can see what kind of computer you have, what operating system you have installed and what Internet browser you prefer to use, among other things.

I am not interested in learning more about you, but there certainly are unscrupulous people who will try. I'm sure you never want anyone looking "inside" your computer, right?

So, how did you get here? Well, you were not hijacked, so probably a link that you clicked was posted in error, or you made a "typo" or, more likely, the page you were looking for no longer exists. Maybe the site was changed or maybe even the domain name was allowed to expire and is no longer directly related to a Website.

By reading this page you will find categories of Internet Websites that provide more specific information about keeping your system safe. Only you know how you use your computer (and only you "should" know), so you need to compare information that can help you decide how best to protect your system, if further protection is needed at all. Good luck.

Sincerely,

Velma

P.S. I'll be back in a few days with more; so stop back then or bookmark me now.

Computer Backup for a Safer System

Backup in computer engineering refers to the copying of data for the purpose of having a second copy of an original source, in case of damage to the original data source. The "data" in question may be either data as such, or stored program code, both of which are treated the same by the backup software.

The word may be used as a noun, e.g., "have you remembered to move the backup to a safe place?", or as a verb, "he didn't back up the data, so we lost last week's work". Also common are various combinations, such as backup copy, backup software (the applications that are used for performing the backing up of data, i.e., the systematic generation of backup copies), backup policy (an organizations procedures and rules for ensuring that adequate amounts and types of backups are made, including suitably frequent testing of the process for restoring the original (production) system from the backup copies).
