Backing up your system Online, Sending your Holiday Cards
 Here's a brief, yet very important update on our backup system. Many of you have been calling and emailing me, so I wanted to let everyone know about a couple of changes with our backup program.
By the way, does your family normally send out a family photo as a card each year? Do you feel it's a bit of a hassle hand addressing each envelope and making sure you have enough stamps and making sure everyone signs it?
Well, now's the time for a change - www.SendOutCards.com/Clyde - we take your own handwriting, your own fonts, your own picture and make a wonderful greeting card for you to send to family, friends and colleagues.
We recommend for making the most impact, send these cards around Thanksgiving, when very few people are sending cards.
Now, on with the Backup!

Green and Red Check Marks by my files - Why?
|
The excellent and only program we recommend for backup, Mozy, has been upgraded recently for the Mac and Windows. For most of you, the update will take place on its own. If you haven't updated in a while, it's time to update. Go to Mozy, log in, and choose "Download Mozy" from the left column. Choose either the Windows or Mac version, download and install it.
With this new update, you'll know exactly which files that are being backed up (they'll have green dots/check marks by them) and which ones , those that are in selected folders scheduled for backup, but aren't being backed up (they'll have red dots/check marks).
If you're not using our off-site backup system, why not? It's less than $5/month and and will save all your company documents, children's photos and all the music (iTunes, Amazon Music) you downloaded! It can't be easier. Remember having a backup drive sitting next to your computer is only good for one thing: hard drive failure. It doesn't help you with theft & fire. Online backup solutions do. Plus online backup solutions "just work," where on-site backup solutions, unless checked often, eventually stop working (not 100% of the time - just in almost every client we see).

Holiday Cards (the one in the boxes that you put stamps on) & Holiday Giving
|
|
Believe it or not, it’s that time of the year already!! Yom Kippur has just passed and we’re on our way to Thanksgiving. Have you sent your cards yet?
Thanksgiving
I want to share this super cool way for you to get out your holiday cards (Christmas, Kwanza, Chanukah, Thanksgiving, Halloween) out without the hassle and expense of both traditional and online stores. With over 16,000 cards to choose from PLUS the ability to create your own cards, our selected is incomparable. Additionally, you can continue to use these cards throughout the year for birthdays, thank you notes, and "just thinking of you" cards. Take a look at last year’s special holiday ezine for more details.
These cards area also a great way to keep in touch with clients and prospective clients, in a fun way, without actually “going for the sale.”
Since last year, we’ve added gifts. You can now send Brownies (our most popular gift), Cookies, Caramels, Gift baskets (Golf, Spa, Cooking), Kids toys, Baby toys, Self-Improvement books and even Dog biscuits! I plan to do most of my holiday shopping without leaving my home – how’s that for a low Carbon Footprint? Speaking of that, all of our cards and envelopes are 100% recycled.
Check out www.SendOutCards.com/Clyde or call us at 408.732.8500 and we’ll answer all of your questions.
