This video will explain how to configure Gmail to remove the “sent on behalf of” when being read in Microsoft Outlook. When configuring Gmail to send as a different E-mail address you have to use the SMTP option if you want to hide the fact that you are sending from a Gmail account. The SMTP configuration is unique to where your E-mail address is being hosted. Below are a couple of places to find that configuration.

Depending on the scenario, sometimes  data can be recovered by taking your hard drive to a specialist (ie. Sector Logics, Fields Data Recovery, etc.) and they can take the platters from inside your hard drive and re-mount them which enables them to bypass the problem if it was a hardware failure.  This scenario is relatively expensive compared to backing up your data proactively and having a readily available restore handy.

To accomplish this most people are purchasing external USB hard drives that you can find at Best Buy, Office Max, Walmart, etc.  These usually start around $80 and can go all the way to $1,000 depending on the size of disk that you want and/or need.  This requires a little bit of technical knowlege to get it setup.

I found Carbonite.com and it has saved my life!  This program is easy to install and the only configuration that you have to give it is what to backup.  That’s it!  No more info than that!  It’s realy that easy.  It has several great features above the rest:

1. Unlimited storage – no matter how many mp3′s or iTunes music you download, no matter how many E-mails you have, no matter how many pictures you’ve taken, it’s all the same price.
2. Completely automated – it starts backing up files that are created or changed as soon as a file is created (assuming that it’s in a folder that you told Carbonite to backup).
3. Files are encrypted – As Carbonite backs up your files they are encrypted.
4. Easy restore – Carbonite offers a very user friendly interface for restores
5. Off-site backups – all of your files are backed up over the internet.  This provides for protection against natural disasters like tornados, hurricanes, floods, etc.

This has saved me several times when my wife has accidentally deleted files.  Within minutes I was able to restore the data.  All of this for only $49.95/yr.

Please let me know if you have any experience with this product?  Thanks!
