Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
jrweis - What?
timta2 - Yes. Everything appears to be fine.
Babel-17 - As far as I remember I disabled Windows Defender as much as possible because I use Kaspersky and Malwarebytes already. The only backup syncing I have is Crashplan.
About 3 days ago, I created a folder on my desktop, and saved a few pictures and a couple text files to it.
Today, I was browsing the internet and noticed my desktop flash, as if I had just refreshed it. It took me awhile to notice the difference, but after a few seconds I noticed that my...
That looks really cool. I would consider it if I hadn't already bought other stuff. Also, it looks like their standard $600 model only has 2 drive slots, and if you want more you have to get the $2,000 model. Do you use one of these yourself?
How would you find out what it's rated for?
When I purchased it I specifically told the dealer that I would be storing hard drives and electronics in it, and they said it would be fine. But like you said, that's just the manufacturer's claim, so it would be good if there's actually a way to...
Just checked, and it does appear to be. There is a sticker inside the door that says UL, and then another that says Intertex Verified fire resistance 1200 F for 60 minutes.
In a horrible twist of fate, I went down to the store to buy some backup drives to get started on this, and I when I got back I saw that one of my internal drives had just failed. If it had only lasted 1 day longer, everything would've been saved.
It was a Seagate though so I guess I shouldn't...
This really sounds like overkill for the type of data I'm backing up (family photos/videos, random apps, etc, nothing of life or death importance) and I already have my most important stuff being backed up daily to CrashPlan servers. I just want something simple to backup the rest of my stuff...
Alright so here is what I've found, please tell me if this seems good for my goal:

Thanks, didn't know about blocking mode. Sounds useful. I'm currently using an iPhone and am ready to switch back to Android, but I haven't used Android since the Galaxy S2 so I'm out of the loop.
When I go to sleep at night, I like to turn my phone upside down so if the screen lights up it doesn't wake me up. I am thinking about getting an S6 Edge and am wondering if the part of the screen on the side will light up and be visible (for example if someone calls, or I get an email...
Yeah most of it is static, I might change a few GB or less each day. So I could get the NAS and then plug it into my desktop to run the initial backup, and then after that just sync over the network?
I don't really need any of the extra backups for keeping changes, just the latest copy would...
Thanks for all the suggestions so far.
Due to this mediocre upload speed, I don't think backing up my entire machine online is really feasible. (I do backup my extremely important files online, but that's it at the moment)
Do you think my best bet for backing up my less important files would...
I currently use Crashplan online backups for about 100GB of my most important files (business stuff, a few family photos and docs, etc). But my upload speed is only 1.5mbps which was the fastest they offered in my area, so uploading 12TB would be a nightmare.
This sounds like the simplest...
Hi everyone, I currently have about 12TB of stuff on my PC spread across 5 HDD's and 1 SSD which is the boot drive. I would like to set up a backup system incase anything fails or someone breaks in and steals my tower, or there's a fire or a flood, etc. not that I expect it, just want to be on...
