backup regularly

i’d like ot have it and take an image of my hard drive I can later reinstall in the worst case. I wonder if Ghost is available and how much it costs… Is it the best SW to use nowadays???

I bought a 320G USB drive to make this easier. I would like to have a backup at least monthly.

came in the mail today! Woot Woot! Too confused and tired to get it going but I will start tomorrow!

the external hard drive!

asap

And so, after the hard drive trouble and the Vista-problems, I’ve just fixed everything, so that everything is backed up again every night in the background. Good, good !

...as my new external drive has arrived. I’ve started copying over the data from the shaky drive a couple hours ago and it’s still happily doing its thing as I write this.

I’ll be glad when I can retire the old drive.

Plus, the new drive I ordered it big enough, so that I can use it for additional backups later.

So after work I went back to the store where I got the case for my external drive last week and exchanged it, which at least was painless (except for the big lines).

I’ve just put the drive in and had a scary moment, when the drive still didn’t boot up. Followed by a moment of relief when after half a minute or so, it suddenly did.

Hmm.

I am now copying over the most important part to another drive (my iTunes libarary !) and have just placed an order for a new drive, since this is getting to be too shaky. Once this gets here I will copy everything over and lay this one to rest.

Oh, and I was amazed to see just how cheap 1TB drives have gotten in the past year !

The external drive for which I had just gotten a new case, once again doesn’t react. This is really strange, is the new case also broken ? I guess I’ll have to exchange it to find out, I hope I’ll find time soon for this.
