What I'm doing is my own choice, and I am sure that there are others on
this group that have better ideas than me.
I backup both my internal drives to two of my three external drives.
These have the data that I access most frequently. One backup uses
Windows Backup, the other uses Drive Image XML. My two internal drives
are only 160 MB apiece and each is nearly full especially the drive not
having the OS. I have large quantities of other data also on the
external drives. If I loose this data, I will not be happy but it won't
cause me much grief. It can be recreated in case I would want to do
so. The external drives are not backed up at all.
The exception is My Pictures and My Music -- they are too large to fit
on my internal drives with all the other data. I have simply copied both
folders to two different external drives. For archive, once in a while
I burn DL DVDs of the pictures & audio. I'm hoping that the two
external drives will not fail simultaneously as I will loose some more
recent additions should this happen.
BTW, this is a family computer and there are four profiles which account
for some of the quantity of data, with mine being the largest.

Robert,
I'm a little confused - are you transferring files from your internal hard
drive to the externals, to take advantage of that added storage space? If
so, how do you back up the external drives? Onto other external drives?
Thanks
Randall
