Creating a reliable archive for college lecturers
Background |
| Steve Chuo is a Chinese history lecturer in a college is currently a PhD Candidate. In the second year of teaching at colleges in two counties, and at the same time conducting his PhD dissertation writing, he needs his lecture and research materials in a well-archived and protected condition. Chuo’s tight school and research schedule, in conjunction with applying to five new teaching job opportunities for the next year, makes him need to be extremely efficient with his time, and to have access to his data that has been gathered from the past years. |
Problem |
| Chuo has spent countless hours and relied heavily on his PC for everything from his teaching plan, lecture preparation, dissertation materials, to extensive research papers. One day, while finishing up his teaching plan for a new teaching opportunity, Chuo noticed his PC was having some problems and was likely to crash. He had just sought an IT specialist’s help from losing of his data. The system instability lead to a loss of three hours of work and resulted in critical document loss. |
Solution |
| One of Chuo’s colleagues gave him a suggestion of using the
EXB-0131, a backup solution combined with data backup and instant recovery.
In the beginning, Chuo assumed that performing a back up would be complicated and time-consuming. At last, Chuo realized by utilizing an EXB-0131, just with a few steps, backup and restoration are just in seconds and effortless. “I am dealing with growing data everyday including a mass of research materials, documents, pictures, and instruction materials for my students. My PC has archived all my work. Once my PC acted as if it was going to crash, I felt like I’m going o lose all of my data. It was really a nightmare.” “EXB-0131 is simply amazing!” said Chuo. Through simple steps, it is easy to set the backup schedule, and the software will automatically perform backups at appointed times. Most backup schemes concentrate on saving only the data, but the EXB-0131, with powerful software ExBoot, not only automatically backups all data, but the operating system, applications, pictures, emails and so on. It was so fast and easy, Chuo performed incremental
backups after the first full backup. And thanks to the instant recovery
function, Chuo can easily verify his data every time by bootup from the
external EXB-0131 to ensure data integrity. The ExBoot technology not only
saved his data, but gave him peace of mind. |
Summary |
| “The greatest advantage of the EXB-0131 is I don’t have to worry
about whether or not my data is accurate and up to date because the device does
it all automatically for me,” said Chuo.
He also likes the fact that the EXB-0131 can be easily verified whether the backup is successfully employed. “It is really amazing!” said Chuo. “I can test my backup by booting up from the USB storage unit, and it can entirely retrieve all my data and the operating system in a short period of time. This ensures my backup is usable and bootable. With the EXB-0131, I can always get my data back and face my work.” Chuo successfully and regularly backed up his data and took simple steps to track his early saved versions of materials for his history lectures. Although he still awaits an answer from those 4 job opportunities, and keeps pursuing his PhD degree, his terrific presentations and materials in his current college job have won him his next teaching contract. |
