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. kc0iv |
