I would be investing in a RAID setup if you want to mirror data, no messing. Also - find out why the drives are dying - bad electricity (get a UPS), overheat in the case - new case/don't overclock etc. | |

Well if you export your registry to a file every now and then, you could just copy your program files back off the backup, import the registry settings, and theoretically it should work. | |

Ok after 2 Hard drive failures in recent months I was thinking that its probably time that I backed the whole HDD up!! At the minute I just back my music etc up when Iremember and have time. I have been reading somewhere that its possible to backup the whole partition? If so can this be done automatically or even updated as and when files are changed? (Not totally sure, but think it might have to be raid for this??) I know you can get software that will backup up just your files but its a right faff on having to install windows and my programs again. Any one come across anything like this before? |
