Thank you silvery.

I have thought about tribal pages but have decided that I would rather keep all my own backups myself.
I keep a few different backups, at different locations, so if the worst was to happen I would not loose all my research.

Technical Help / Backing up to an External Hard Drive
« on: Friday 17 February 12 09:44 GMT (UK)  »
At the moment I back up all my family history to a memory stick or an external hard drive.
I have decided to buy a new external hard drive and was wondering if anyone knows the advantages or disadvantages of using an external hard drive that I would connect to the laptop all the time I am working and it saves and backs up while the laptop is being used.
Is that better than saving the whole project at the end of the day?
Any help would be much appreciated.

A confused and technically challenged, siskin

Thank you very much to everyone who helped me.

I have managed with advice and PM's to find the Savoy Hotel in the 1911 census.
  

A very big thank you, siskin :)

First let me say that I am not requesting neither am I offering to do look ups.

I am unable to find the Savoy Hotel in the 1911 census.

I am doing an address search and I have entered every street in the vicinity of the Savoy Hotel of the Strand, London.

I have tried as many different spellings as I can think of but have drawn a complete blank.

The hotel must have had numerous 'live in' staff and many guests staying on the night of the 1911 census.

I am having to do an address search as I don't have enough details for a person search, but if I see a name and where that person was born I may be able to carry on my research.

If anyone is able to give me a clue as to where I can find the Savoy Hotel in the census I should be very grateful.

Regards siskin

Thank you very much Redroger, ignz and downside.

I  will look into all your suggestions, it will help my Grandson, as I have just passed my Linux netbook onto him (he thought it very cool!!!!) and treated myself to an EeePC with XP installed, which I am delighted with. I now do as Redroger does and transfer data to my laptop using a memory stick.

Thank you, kind regards, siskin

Thank you downside for your message.

I am not very computer literate, but had hoped I could put my printer onto my netbook myself, but it sounds very complicated, so I shall have to wait for my son to do it for me. I will show him the info: you have provided. Thank you very much.

Regards siskin.

I have a netbook (for working in the field) that runs on Linux.
I would like to install my printer that is an Epson Stylus Photo RX 520 onto it.
Can anybody offer any suggestions as to how to go about this.
