Hi everyone,
Well, as the title says, I lost almost everything on my hard drive. I mistake for not backing up. Now I am willing to go to any length to back up my system. I am looking at cd burning, portable hardrives, and anything else I can think off. What about saving stuff online? Is there any site that can hold info, say 10-20 gigs of information for a user, for free? Do let me know...

Quickest easiest way:

external HD used for backups only. USB2 or Firewire...easy as pie.

essentually...you can brain dump everything but size and connection. The rest is just info that isn't really relivent for what you're looking to do with this. If you were going to use it constantly...sure. But as a once a week backup, it really doesn't matter. Getting a good deal is as good as anything else.

Size= needs to be big enough to hold your backup
Connection= you need to physically be able to connect it to the computer [img]smile.gif[/img]

This is just an example of something that comes with everything you need all in one box: Walmart Special

As said, when you're not backing up or restoring keep it in a safe dry place, away from any halogyn lights or speakers.
