Last week we showed you how to automatically backup your data to SkyDrive in Ubuntu. This tutorial is the Windows version of what you saw last week. If you remember, we told you that Microsoft offers a free 25GB of online storage that you can use to store your data anyway you want. With that free space, this brief tutorial will show you how to setup an automatic backup and restore process in Windows 7 so that when you lose your data on your computer, you can then go to SkyDrive and restore that data onto another computer.
This is like your own Carbonite online store, only free.

This is day 5 of our 30 days series on Ubuntu 11.10 called ‘First 30 Days with Ubuntu 11.10”. We started this series with installing and updating Ubuntu, showed you multiple ways to install programs in Ubuntu and how to add network printers. Today we’ll continue from where we left off and show you how to share files, printers and folders with other systems on your network (LAN). You probably already have other systems like Windows that you may want to access from Ubuntu. However, to be able to access and share files and other resources with all systems, you’ll have to enable file sharing, and this tutorial will show you how.
If you ever wanted to play around the idea of transforming Ubuntu to Windows 7, then look no further than Win2-7 Pack, because this pack is the most comprehensive Ubuntu to Windows transformation pack I have ever come across. When you use Win2-7 Pack to transform Ubuntu to Windows, Ubuntu wouldn’t look exactly like Windows, but will be transformed enough so that someone who uses Windows will find it easier to use than when using Ubuntu without the transformation.
