Best method of Backup?
    #5836379 - 07/08/06 06:10 PM (17 years, 6 months ago)

I've reached a point where I find it necessary to create a backup of my hard drive.  What's the best program to do this?  Also, is there a way to save more than just my files...like create a boot disc that will install my hard drive exactly the way it is now?

Any info appreciated  :smile:

You might look into something like a "one touch backup" external USB hard drive. These usually come with Dantz Retrospect software to perform the backup. No idea if the software is any good.

I'd just use a program like Norton Ghost to image the drive to a separate HDD. Keep it somewhere cool, dry and safe. Update it occasionally.

Or, buy a second drive and set up RAID 1. Not a backup, but redundancy is always nice :sun:

Ghost works great, I concur.

ghost is ok.. but sometimes its just necessary to have better ways.

personally, i would prefer (if i had the $) to get a UPS power supply, raid firewire external backup, along with a raid setup for your harddrives.

ghost is made by norton, i believe its for many OS, but optimized for windows and etc. but it will only work for the computer you backup most of the time, no others. (or at least one setup with same hardware, specs, etc.)

making a minimal install disc is good too, like with nlite
