Welcome to The Boston Network Users Group

 The longest-running computer network group in Massachusetts — founded in 1986

Our next meeting is Tuesday, December 2   7pm – 8:30 pm on Zoom– please join us!

1. We will continue our learning about the Simple as Possible (“SAP-1”) computer created by Malvino, to deepen our understanding of exactly how a computer works at the most fundamental level

2. We often have discussions about setting up backup systems, like Macrium, Backblaze, Carbonite, and batch file flash drive backup. Today, we will talk about the “other end”– using our backup systems to recover lost files and whole failed computer systems.  What are some of the lessons learned about this?  How can we prepare better next time?  How many layers should we use to protect ourselves?

     3. Drew will demonstrate Macrium’s virtual boot feature, which allows you to bring your Macrium backup image as a living, breathing virtual machine, which runs exactly as your machine did before it bought the farm.

    4. Adam will update us on using Synology as a strong file sharing and backup system.
