Hello and Backup Advice
Hi everyone,
I've been viewing these forums for a long time and have just joined to start participating.
I have a fairly new PC as my old one was really slow and had no hard drive space left. I've already got a lot of stuff on it - programs / documents / photos / work stuff and so on and was wondering what the best way to backup would be?
When I transfered from my old computer I backed all of my documents up on DVDs and an external HD which I borrowed. This was fine but it took a long time to re-install all of my programs.
What would you suggest the best way of backing up would be? I've been wondering about getting a 2nd HD and simply doing a scheduled backup to put my main document folder onto it at certain times but I've also been looking at RAID (which I'm not too clear on) which seems to be a more robust solution.
Just interested in hearing what everyone else does to get some ideas really.
Simon
