Backup

Postby Admin3 » Sat Jul 30, 2005 1:11 pm

Do any of you bother to backup your PC?

One of the most important things you should do on a regular basis.

Especially if you have alot of data and images.

I normally copy stuff on to another hard disk and move it off site - what do the rest of you do?

Are there cheap backup options? I know the tapes we use in the office (DLT) are about 40 quid a whip! :shock:

One option I use is to have an external HD (Icy Box with 200gb SATA drive in it) I use Norton Ghost to create an image of my OS and certain vital folders. All very quick, as it runs through an external SATA connection, and cheap.

Normal users would be just as easy to backup files to cd/dvd.
