-- Posted by Latin Muscle at 9:11 pm on May 12, 2008 HOLY SHIT! My comp almost erased everything.!! Thousands of files and  lots of programs...almost got deleted. Thankfully it found a backup. But, just to take a precaution, how can i make a backup  for  my Harddrive?? What is the best way to back it up?   -- Posted by matto at 9:13 pm on May 12, 2008 external hd or another internal one mirroring it -- Posted by Latin Muscle at 9:18 pm on May 12, 2008 sounds good. thnx -- Posted by Crazy snake at 10:19 am on May 13, 2008 Use an external hard drive, that has enough memory to copy your entire system. Or write the files onto CD, but thats more complicated. The best, and simplest is an external harddrive, as matto said. And dont forget to put a password on the hd, so it can be stolen, abd the files accessed -- Posted by Dickij03 at 10:58 am on May 14, 2008 Second harddrive with acronis.
