Just started using DDL because my company will now use the print outs, it is very nice and agree with most of you, will never go back to paper logs!

Just wait until your power supply goes out or for some other reason your laptop quits and you have to go back to paper. You will REALLY APPRECIATE DDL then!

G-R-E-A-T TIP! Also do a back up of the program on a thumb drive or disk @ least weekly or less.

My son Emails me the data files every week from DDL. He has two laptops with him, one for his wife, and copies the files to that one almost everyday
I have the data files on my backup drive also, from the last 2 1/2 years.
It's called CYA.......... :wink:

As I said in an earlier post each day I would printout that day's log. I also make a backup copy on my disk drive ( later used a thumb drive ) and every few days I would send the backup to my home e-mail address. The wife would update her copy of DDL data files.

If my computer system failed the most I would lose is what I had entered that day. I never did lose the laptop but I did have a printer fail. In that case I stopped at the next town and bought a new printer and I was back in business. Had I lost the laptop itself I would have just used loose-leaf log till I got home and bought or had the laptop repaired.

Backing up data, be it DDL or any other programs data, should be a normal habit. As I used to tell my customers when they ask how often they should make a backup. I would ask them how much data are they will to lose. It normally only took one time after they lost all their data for them to get the idea.

As a side note. I talked to a driver once that left his logbook at a truckstop and lost everything. That was before I was using DDL. After hearing that I started removing each page of my logbook as I filled them out and kept them separate from the logbook.
