    Looking for system backup for dummies.


    Hello,

    I believe that there are two types of backups; full and incremental.

    I always perform a weekly full backup. Should I be doing a full back at some interval followed by incremental ones or stick with what I am currently doing?

    I am also using Windows 7's backup process. Are there better programs out there?

    Any backup help would be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance

    Stewart,

    Full system backups are fine - try FREE Macrium Reflect. I find it easier to use than MS backup
