One of the things I hate doing the most after a computer crash is reloading all
my applications.
I have recently discovered that "Stealth" applications or applications that don't
need to be installed in combination with a portable 2.5" hard drive is the
perfect solution.
Most computers you purchase now will either come with a restore disc or a
restore volume on the internal hard drive, which means you can completely
restore your computers operating system in under an hour but all the
application and games you might like can take several hours after that. This is
where Stealth applications come in.
Backing up your portable drive a couple times a week will make sure that even if
your portable drive fails you are only a couple clicks away from a complete
restore.
Portable hard drives are very common now, all of the chain electronics stores
carry them. They come in different sizes, capacity, colors and some even have
software pre-loaded on them already.
Below are just some of the applications I keep on my portable hard drive, I get
these applications from the following sites: www.portableapps.com and
www.portablefreeware.com, I have linked all these applications to these web
sites.
