          I don't use any I just copy stuff over. Can't remember the name of the thing I tried but it ate a lot of brains up.

                  crashplan - you can mirror to another drive on another computer over the internet as well. You need to protect against theft, fire, electrical surge, etc, as well as mechanical drive failure.

                      Acronis TrueImage will clone a drive.

                      I'm not sure if you're talking about cloning or RAID mirroring.

                          Carbon Copy Cloner will clone your hdd. (Mac)
                          A RAID setup will give you real-time mirroring.

                              Acronis True Image. Mine is version 10 but I'm sure V11 is out now.

                                  To sync or to make an image? To sync = superflexible file synchronizer, to mirror = OO Drive Image or Acronis True Image

                                          I just looked at it, am i right in assuming that this will copy my dying computers drive over to a new one and actually let me execute programs and everyone from that drive, not just back up the data file? I really need this is that is what it will do.

                                              Cool thread. Any recommendations on good reads regarding simple RAID setups?

                                              Thanks.

                                                  I'll second acronis for not only imaging but any sort of backups.

                                                      ... but is not a backup since the two drives in the array are presented as a single logical drive. If you accidentally delete a file, it's gone from the "backup" too. RAID is not a backup.

Instead of copying files which can have errors, use Cobian to duplicate to a backup. Sometimes simple is better. I'm still using Vista and Acronis 10 just does not act right with this OS.
