Backup program assistance required

[james_earl]

hi,
I'm about to buy two 500 gb spinpoint hard drives and a western digital 1tb external hard drive as a backup for these drives. Could you recommend a program that automatically backs up the data to the external hard drive or something with equivalent functions.

Many thanks James

ive just seen lacie do a 1tb external big disk looking one which comes to an almost identical price to what you were suggesting. i really do need to back it all up because due to a double maxtor failure a couple of months ago i lost 500 gb of data and do not want to repeat. I'm also far to lazy to burn things to dvd. thanks for your help i think i know what im going to do now.

James
