"Incorporating Acronis True Image with New Mexico Software backup server is the ideal solution to capture that corporate data and ensure that it is not lost. While traditional server backups are effective for protecting server data, every company should have a combination of server and workstation backup plans."

Notebooks All repair shops must get some emission system codes because of the Clean Air Act.

Lenovo Some members of Congress worry that higher-priced dealer repair shops are using the codes to corner the repair market. Lawmakers have introduced legislation to require manufacturers to share diagnostic codes with car owners and independent repair shops.

Hard Drive Also, the Environmental Protection Agency is developing a plan to require that automakers publish online all the codes related to emission repairs.

Travelstar Cars built since the 1996 model year must have computer-controlled emission systems to meet clean air laws.

Gateway ``Most vehicles out of warranty are serviced by independent repair shops,'' EPA spokesman David Ryan. ``And the sooner these shops catch emission problems, the better it is for the environment.''

Laptop Parts A membership survey by the Automotive Service Association, which represents 15,000 independent repair shop owners, found that 10 percent of cars could not be repaired because codes are not available. The number is expected to grow as newer cars replace pre-1996 models.

Software The Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers says that requiring the codes' disclosure would make proprietary information available to competitors and subject to copying.

Hard Drives The group supports the EPA's proposal, and most of its members have signed a letter of intent to make emissions diagnostic tools for 1996 and newer cars available to independent shops by Jan. 1.

Electronics ``It's in our interest to make sure'' emissions systems are fixed quickly, alliance spokeswoman Gloria Bergquist said.

Desktop Computers ``Dealerships have a franchise relationship with the manufacturer, and the manufacturer can terminate that relationship,'' said Doug Greenhaus, director of environment, health and safety for the National Auto Dealers Association. ``They are under contract to keep that information confidential, but there is no relationship like that with the vehicle manufacturer and the aftermarket.''

Think Pad The emissions repair codes are linked to anti-theft devices, which is causing the insurance industry to oppose the EPA proposal. Getting the codes to more repair shops could make it easier for auto thieves to obtain that information, insurers say.

Repair ``If you are a thief, the first thing you want to do is to get a one-week apprenticeship at Joe's Garage,'' said Kim Hazelbaker of the industry-funded Highway Loss Data Institute.

Data Recovery Aaron Lowe, vice president of government affairs for the Automotive Aftermarket Industry Association, says a potential thief also could find work at a dealership.

Cisco ``We don't think their problems are real, and we think they all can be resolved,'' Lowe said. ``It will be a lot better for repair shops and technicians to more efficiently repair cars, and that will ultimately benefit the consumer.''

Keyboard EPA officials say they hope to resolve the insurance industry's misgivings about the proposal.
