You make good points about the ways that the hard drive can be damaged. Liquids, power surges, and general failures are common methods.

In reply to Suzanne Boles. Suzanne, I just drag folders from my computer hard drive to my external hard drive. That works well. I'm actually trying out the online service iDrive right now, but the jury's still out.

I do backups on my second hard drive and and external hard drive but I don’t like the software. What software do you use to do the backup? I’ve been using Allway Sync, but I find it confusing. I’ve also used Windows Backup but is this reliable.

Thanks for any advice you can provide.

I don’t think you can do better than Karen’s Replicator. Replicator can back up any file(s) or folder(s) to any storage device, anywhere, anytime. It’s no-strings freeware too, what else can you ask for. Here’s my Utube how-to video:

In reply to Ruth – The Freelance Writing Blog.

I was told thats its not actually enough to just copy and paste files onto another drive, that you need to use something like “carbon copy cloner”, or “time keeper”(on mac’s) to save the full file.

Do you know anything about this? is it really necessary?

Have you every heard of Synology Network attached storage. Those work the best. Many Photographers back up their work using a NAS.

In reply to Keo Ochard. Keo, that's definitely beyond my level of knowledge. Perhaps someone else following this post can help you. Better yet, do a Google search about your problem. I'm sure this same question has been asked and answered on many forums and other sites.
