Prayer

Lord, I am not smart enough, strong enough, or spiritual enough to do this on my own. Walk with me. Guide me. Help me do your will, and let mine cease. This is not my problem God. I give it to you. You take care of it. Amen.

How do I use Mozy?

mozy logo

Seriously, I love this service.

MozyHome is the best deal at $50 per year (or $5/month) for an UNLIMITED amount of data backup.

This is a per computer license. However, my setup allows me to backup every document, from every computer we own using one license.

Basically we have a headless (no monitor) computer sitting in a corner hooked up to the network.

This computer acts as a file server for us and we store all of our files on it. Then Mozy backs them all up.

My wife and I both have laptops, and we make sure not to store any data on them, but to save everything to the server.

Mozy just runs, and backs everything up we have. Currently my MozyHome account is holding 250 gigabytes of files.

Awesome Features of Mozy

Backing up an indefinite amount of data for only $50 per year is pretty awesome, but there is more.

1) Mozy is the fastest backup I’ve ever seen.

The initial backup of ALL your data is going to take a while. Everything depends on how much data you have. My first, initial backup took almost 5 full days of running. Yes, 120 hours of constant uploading. But, I was also backing up triple digit gigabytes of information.

After your initial backup, Mozy is insanely fast. The software does incremental backups, which means they only backup the parts of files that have changed, and new files.

2) Multiple Backups per Day

This is another feature I absolutely adore. You can set the Mozy software to backup when your computer is idle, so every coffee break becomes a save point for all your work throughout the day. Or, you can also click the “Backup Files” button any time during the day.

For example: when I start a new website project, after I get an hour or so into the the project, I’ll tell Mozy to backup everything so I don’t lose my work.

3) Restore files from 30 days ago & from any time of the day

Mozy only charges you $50 for a year to backup everything.

You can’t even buy a 500 gig hard drive for that right now.

But on top of that, they keep your files for 30 days.

So if you delete a file off your computer, Mozy won’t delete it until 30 days later. If you decide you needed that file after all, just restore it and you’re back in business.

Another of my favorite features ties into the fact that Mozy can backup several times during the day.

You can restore from ANY of restore point throughout the day.

Best Example: I start a web design project. An hour into the project I back up all my files. Two hours later, I completely screw up a file, or delete something, and I can’t undo it. All I have to do is restore the file from earlier that same day, and I’m up and running again. Awesome!

4) Easiest Restore Option & “Restore” files from Anywhere!

To restore a file, all you have to do is right click inside the folder the file was in, select from your Context Menu “Restore Files Here” and you’ll see Mozy’s backed up version of that folder in a new window. Just select the file you want to restore.

You can also do the same thing through the installed software on your machine, OR you can do it all online!

You can use Mozy to “restore” files from anywhere in the world to any computer in the world.

For Example: If I’m across the world on a foreign computer, instead of having to carry all my files on a thumb drive, if I need a file, I can use the online portal to see all my files and choose which ones I want to download. Mozy takes a few minutes but will send me an email, and I can download any and all files I want.

This is an incredibly useful feature!

Film One Man Garage Videos

Video Snapper

Joseph Lanham and his iPhone will be helping me film my efforts in the One Man Garage.

The One Man Garage is going to be a video series Joseph and I create about me trying to restore my pickup trucks, alone, and using only a standard two car, attached garage.

Most people don’t have much, if any, help when it comes to working on their vehicles.

My plan is to come up with handy ways to do jobs which normally take multiple people, and instead, accomplish them safely, and single-handedly.

One Man Garage Videos – 3/4 Ton Truck Work

I’ve written several posts about my two 78 Silverado trucks I want to work on.

  1. Epic Chevy .com and my 1978 Silverado Restoration
  2. 1978 Silverado Restore Illustrated – Final Rendering
  3. Up Front Emotion

This is my 3/4 Ton 1978 Silverado truck.

It’s got a 350 engine in it and a 4 speed manual, with granny low.

1978 Silverado 3/4 Ton

This truck will never be a show truck, but I bought it for only $400 and drove it home. Hard to beat that.

My goal with this truck is to practice on it first, before I tear into my other 78 Silverado (1/2 ton) that’s in really good shape.

1978 Silverado and Engine Stand

My Plan “One Man Garage” Video Plan:

I am new to doing all my own work on my trucks, but I am trying to teach myself through books and the internet.

My end goal is to be capable of doing everything on my truck from bumper to bumper and tires to cab top.

Most guys that work on their stuff are like me, alone in their efforts.

So a buddy of mine and I came up with the idea to film me working on the trucks and showing how one guy can do all of the work himself.

My Plan for the 3/4 Ton Truck:

I received unanimous feedback from the 67-72chevytruck.com forum members that I should start working on the 3/4 ton truck before tearing into the much nicer 1/2 ton (they are both 1978 Silverados).

The 3/4 ton is currently stored at a buddy’s house, but as soon as our 1992 Lumina sells, the truck will be coming home.

  1. Remove the hood (film – One Man Garage: Use an i hook in the ceiling to support the hood)
  2. Remove the engine & transmission (film – One Man Garage: use cherry picker a.k.a. Engine Hoist pictured above)
  3. Remove the front clip (fenders, grill and while assembly)
  4. Remove the bed (film – One Man Garage: Use the “one man lift” either Wood Version or Metal Version)
  5. Remove the cab (film – One Man Garage: Use the “one man lift” & a “tip and flip” dolly)
  6. Remove all the remaining components from the frame
  7. Sand Blast all the components
  8. POR15 the frame
  9. Paint all sheet metal using the $50 Rustoleum Paint Job method
  10. Rebuild the motor
  11. Rebuild the transmission
  12. Replace necessary components: breaks, lines, etc…
  13. Replace all bushings with the Energy Suspension Polyurethane Master Kit ($200)
  14. Build a metal framed flat bed with a wood floor
  15. Put the thing back together and drive it! :-)
