backing up my system
the last thing i would like advice on my build is backing up my settings.
im getting another 80G seagate hard drive seperate from my main and plan to use that to back up all my software but i wanted to ask you guys first before i made any final changes. im also getting the year warrenty for both my hard drives just in case. but my main questions are.... how much would i actually need to back up my OS and virus software? would and external hard drive be better? if so any suggestions? and what backup software would anybody recommend? |

For backing up files /folders just drag and drop them to the new drive. If you want to make an image of your drive use Acronis. For the Seagate drives you can download a free version of Acronis.
