New HD and Backup Help

[roakes]

Hey all,

Ok...my current rig has a 74gb Raptor for the system drive and a 200gb Seagate for the storage and pagefile...NOW...I firstly am in need of some more space for storage but I also have about 80gb+ of files on the 200gb drive that I want to keep a copy of in case of drive failure as they have taken me a long time to get together and would be almost impossible to replace again now. I realise I could just burn them to DVD but I am really looking to keep a copy on another drive and keep it updated as I get more.

I cant get my head around the best and cheapest way to achieve all of this...any ideas?

Thanks

Russ

Just buy another hard-disk. Costly to start of with maybe, but it'll save you a lot of time and effort.

Just plug it in only when you need it, and keep it in a safe, cool place when not needed.

I did this. Full reinstall and once all games put on etc to save 8 hours work again I just installed a 2nd HDD cloned them all across and now keep that drive aside. If drive fails or need a reinstall half hour should sort it not 8 hours doing it this way.
