Best approach for travel

janrif · #1 05-21-2007, 11:11 AM

I'll be traveling for the nxt few wks & wonder the best way to deal w URp & my data file.

Should I load both program & data file onto a compact flash card for transport or what?

Then on return, just copy it over to main machine HD or what? Thanks in advance for your advice.

If you're not taking your computer with you, that's a good way to take UR with you.

OK, both of you.... I guess I'll just have to attach my Vaio laptop to the flash card. I thought I could save some weight for the trip. Guess not.

Depends on what you have as data. I personally NEVER put truly sensitive information on portable media. Or if I do, I split things like username and password up, and then zip the sucker.

I also then change the extension of zip file to jpg or bmp.

When ready to start work again, I simply restore everything manually.

So far it's worked for me.

I have UR installed on my tablet PC for travel. Database and linked files are in an easily specified folder structure. i.e. under D:/Datastore/...

I use Goodsync http://www.goodsync.com/ a free synchronization program to sync the data before and after travel.

I use Truecrypt to create an encrypted folder for my sensitive stuff.
