I'm just wondering how and what people use to back up their systems. I don't backup stuff as often as I should and probably do that awkwardly. So I'm looking for advice on the way forward.
Photo's & important Docs, I back to a CD/DVD once in a while, but I never have bothered to put them back on between rebuilds. So not really sure what I have on those ambiguously labelled discs. :oops:
Music, I back up to an External 2.5" HDD that have.
Applications, I just reinstall these when I rebuild.
I now have 3 Drives I can use. A Samsung 320GB & 2x WD 200GBs
The 320 Currently has XP on it. One of the WD I just received back from sending in an RMA and the other is still left over as the remnant half of a failed RAID 0. So needs a format.
I was thinking of RAIDING the 2 WD's in a Mirror and putting my files on there. But I am open to suggestions.
