Best way to restore data?

Submitted by Tweedboy6L6 on July 5, 2007 - 10:17pm

Just before my 3 month old PQI flash drive died, I did a full backup using the Portable Apps main menu backup utility.

When I get my replacement flash drive, do I install Portable Apps then go to the backup menu and restore, or do I unzip my backup file and simply copy it to the new flash drive?

Thank you.

Hi.. I use klipfolio for RSS feed. Sadly the Portable App icon looks *bad*. Looks like the typical transparent gif jagged edge problem.

I mean the RSS feeds still work, but eye candy is important these days.

Thanks.

Another Portable OS comparable to portable apps?

Around the same time I discovered portableapps.com, I also remember reading about another portable OS system that allows ANY app to be installed within this system. I remember it was created by a group of programmers from India, and the app had a slightly unusual name. Does anyone remember this software.

This app permitted the user to plug and play an entirely private environment that permitted installation of any app, such as Photoshop or whatever. And without having to adjust the bios to login into this portable, private environment.
