Backups
I have finally realized that I need to save a copy of my computer data and have been experimenting with Win XP's backup utility, without much luck I'm afraid.
Quite simple really, the computer has two hard drives and I plan to use a plug-in Maxtor external drive to backup into. The great plan has me simply telling the PC to backup the entire C and D drive to the Maxtor (G) and programing the utility to automatically overwrite or modify the backup copy with the daily changes. The Maxtor will easily hold twice the amount of data I have. It sounds easy but my limited ability appears to be the sticking point.
I'd rather use the XP utility than buy a specific backup program, but if I need to, then I must.
I'm keen to hear from fellow PPRuNers who have useful advice on either how to manipulate the XP utility or what I need to buy to do what I want.
Appreciate your input.
