Backup method

JoyPadJedi · 16 Sep 2006 at 13:59

Right I've just got Acronis TrueImage Workstation - we use it at work and it's just brilliant. Obivously (or maybe not!) I don't have an LTO or even a DAT drive to backup to at home. What do others here backup to? I was thinking either a new HDD (or even 2 new ones in RAID1), or perhaps an external HDD. I want to backup with the least amount of hassle possible, so I think DVDs are out of the question (would probably take loads). I'll probably take DVD images every so often.

Thoughts and recommendations?

Use a partition on my second HD here. Love the way True Image can compress. Plan to invest in a HD & back-up on that then store it somewhere safe. In the meantime I use DVD±RWs to backup important folders such as those containing pictures & downloads (both about 3GB each)
