Hello, again I'm Rodney Reynolds from 3DGameMan.com. The next question is what do you use to back up your important data? Well, I keep it really, really simple. I just have two hard drives, one backing up the other one and I use a software program called Rapid Backup, which is a free program written by Mike Lin. You can visit his website at www.MLin.net and this is an older program. You can visit his website it’s under the other software category and it’s way down at the bottom. It’s called again Rapid Backup, an entirely free program that I've been using for years. He actually wrote this in 1999 so I've been using this on Windows XP, Vista 32 bit, and Vista 64 bit all those operating systems, no problem at all and what I really like about this software program it is extremely easy to use. Just create a job. You’ve got all kinds of options like monitor source and run job on change, skip, source files with the same size and target date.
You can have a number of jobs running at the same time. You can select very simply the source, the target and also you can do all kinds of scheduling. So visit his website again www.MLin.net and you can find the software program and hopefully you'll find this very, very simple use as well. The other option of course for backups are other more complicated software unlike O&O, Disk Image also Windows Vista has one built-in which you can use if you go to the control panel and backup you’ll get an option in there to backup all kinds of files and so on and so forth.
And as well you could go with a RAID1 and RAID5 setup but remember whatever you do with regards to a backup have it stored in a safe place. There’s no good to have your important data backup on a RAID! or RAID5 setup whether its inside of a case or in a separate enclosure and something must to happened to your home or office, like a flood or a fire then all that data is going to be lost if you cant get to it in time. I hope this answers your question and keep your questions coming.
