It's not a good sign when...

Anyone need a better reminder to GET YOUR BACKUPS DONE ???
I'm doing mine right now

I backup my immediate day's work as I go to a flash drive, then I e-mail the appropriate files to head office and the State rep. I have a second HDD in my PC purely so I can backup to this locally. I also copy the files to my notebook via the flash drive so i have a copy when I'm on the road.

I have been helped in the past by Norton utilities and Go Back but now Symantec has suffered from terminal bloatware syndrome I don't buy it / renew it anymore.

My HDD of choice currently is the Seagate 320 GB SATA 2 with 16MB cache.

CD is in the drive burning as I speak. My auto script zips up all my docs bar the music and videos and saves a copy to my desktop so I can burn to disc.

Not sure if I could do something like that in Windows but it seems simpler in Linux

There's a freeware app that does that, called Cobian Backup.

Did all mine on Saturday to the 2nd HD. I use acronis true image, seriously fast at backing up.

We use norton ghost at work. It takes a while, but I have never had a problem with recovering from it (except for a bad burner). I backup my projects at home and work daily with automated batch scripts (I know - archaic) to remote drives. I also recently got a one-touch and it does a decent job and is quick.

That looks good. Got no use for it now really though as I run Linux. I'll keep it in mind though, cheers.

Got myselft 2x Maxtor DiamondMax 10 SATA drives, of 160Gb. They are the version with 8Mb cache, only the higher ones have 16 Mb. Found a review on the net about it.

Now the only bad thing is....I can't set them up yet, I forgot to buy extra SATA cables!
