Players get 21 weeks (approximately the time candidates h...

For anyone who uses a computer at least on a daily or weekly basis, or someone who uses their PC for things like keeping photos, doing financial work, etc., a backup solution is very important. I’m sure everyone knows someone, or at least heard the stories of people who have lost very important data that was unrecoverable, and that’s why finding a good solution is key. I was happy to see that Genie-Soft has some applications available on Impulse, so I wanted to give the...
