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.

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.

... 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.

For those not diametrically opposed to the Mac platform there is the amazing Time Machine...

www . apple . com /macosx/what-is-macosx/time-machine.html *

...it's proven itself several times (including yesterday when a Photoshop droplet overwrote an image I'd forgotten to rename after considerable editing, and Time Machine gave me my old version of that file back in less than a minute).


* since I still can't post links

I've been using Cobian for simple backup instead of Acronis and others. 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.
