Hi Dave,
I'd like to set my USB external hard drive to backup my lapetop everyday. I
use xp but don't really like the xp backup. Any ideas would be nice.
With Love,

i use the external usb connected hard drive for back ups. it's
unplugged most of the time and in operation only during back ups - oh yes and
recovery once in a while. i use a few xcopy commands on my xp machine and
'robocopy' commands on my VISTA (don't upgrade - it's crap.) put the commands
in a bat file on your bu drive and most importantly.... keep all important data
on your active system in one directory... like c:\cbu or c:\mine or c:\data.
you'll also want to grab favorites. i can provide details to anyone interested.

You can go a couple waysâ¦. The way I recommend is to purchase a USB
hard drive enclosure, that way thereâs no opening of your new computers case.
If this idea doesnât work, depending on your new computers configuration you
could install the new drive into your computer making sure if you have a master
to move the jumper on the disk drive to slave. I hope this helpsâ¦.. good luck!

Hi all-
Well my six year old Gateway bit the dust. The mother-board went and maybe
the power supply as well. So I have a new Dell on the way. My deal with the old
Gateway is, I need to retrieve my hard-drive (I didn't have it backed up, I
know, I know.... bad Tim.) I did order an external hard-drive so everything
will be backed up on the new one!!!! So all you fellow puter geeks- do I need
to plug my old hard-drive into a slave drive... r' or what?
Thanks-
Tim
