 |
|
Having just experienced a few computer problems myself (think my hard drive has died) I'm just wondering ho else backs up their data? And if you do, how often?
Luckily I've got all my important family photos backed up, but I've lost a few important things due to not backing up regularly enough!! Lesson learned!

Well, I guess you have a new HDD? if so pop you old one back in to the PC tower, and try and see if will spin up, if so copy all the files you need, and then wipe that HDD, useing the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gutmann_method
As for do I backup, every week and to 2 HDD, I have a backup of the backup, as you never know when your computer may die, and the second backup is an external HDD witch is only contected when I wanna run a backup, and is also encrypted.

Thanks guys, it's lucky that I had all my photos backed up.
It wasn't a new hard drive unfortunately, it was the one that shipped with the machine when I bought it 6 months ago. I'm backing up weekly from now on!!

Thanks Patrick
I'll chack that out. THat's one of things that would bug me about Norton backup, everytime I ran a backup it would copy EVERYTHING to the backup location, so if only one file had changed, it would still take ages! I always wondered if I was missing something, so if anyone else uses Norton and has set up a better workflow, let me know.
SyncBack looks good though, syncronization is definitely the way to go.
