Norton Ghost works great..can't say the same for their other products though

selena · 05-07-2006, 11:00 AM

I back up to an external Maxtor, using the software that came with it.

L0rdJuni0r · 05-07-2006, 11:02 AM

Incarnate · 05-07-2006, 11:02 AM

WinZip, Pretty Good Privacy and a external harddrive. Used Norton Ghost at one point, but it messed up with my MBR.

For just data this is something that works well to an external drive.

For a full backup I use DriveImage, for data goodsync

Symantic Ghost v10 not only does is perfect backups it can also create images of your complete hdd. In case something bad happens you can just restore the
image and your computer is exactly the way it was when you created the image.
That means you don't have to reinstall software etc, etc.

The best = Super Flexible File Synchronizer
Easiest = Handy Backup

Well I have this old Sparq drive, you see..

Norton Ghost is good. I've had nothing but problems using Retrospect on PC's. Works ok for Macs though.

DickShoke · 05-07-2006, 02:20 PM

the built in Backup Utility on the Windows OS....i don't know why you guys have to use third-party....the built in backup does everything just fine...i understand if you want to create an image using Ghost, but otherswise why spend money on a backup software when there is something built into the system already (ready to use)

I don't use trust any software from the same producer who usually fucks up my shit in the first place

Works for me, I've had to restore a couple of times when my RAID array thought it had died due to dodgy SATA connectors. It's not installed by default with XP Home but you can manually install it from the CD. I do a full backup once per week and an incremental backup (only backs up files that have changed since last full backup) every couple of days, or when I've just done something important like copy a CF card full of images.

Lightining, fire, will take out both at the same time. Remote harddrive is the way to go.

ungratefulninja · 05-07-2006, 03:49 PM

I need to go buy an external hdd.. My copy of Windows corrupted itself a while back, fortunately I was able to retrieve most of my data from that hdd when I installed a new one.

Currently I sync my info from desktop to my laptop, as a better-than-nothing precauction.

Next step would be making dvd backups and putting them in a fireproof safe.

MediaGuy · 05-07-2006, 03:51 PM

I don't have to because the screen holds itself up. But if I had to, I'd probably lean my laptop up againsts the wall or use a couple phone books...

:P

Hentaikid · 05-07-2006, 05:38 PM

I use a freeware app called syncback from a company called 2brightsparks. Automatically mirrors folders accross my LAN

Webby · 05-08-2006, 01:17 AM

Several... depending on what you need..

Simple stuff for backing up working files... Second Copy

For backing a few dirs.... No Hands Backup

For mirroring drives... Acronis

gecko · 05-08-2006, 02:32 AM

Acronis and a fresh HD and just clone it

beckie · 05-08-2006, 08:31 AM

I use Retrospect:

http://www.emcinsignia.com/products/smb/retroforwin/

I back it up to my external and also another computer. Once you have done 1 backup, you can schedule it to check what files have been updated since the previous backup and it will only backup the files that have been changed. Great software!
