deb;

i am not an induistry, so thought i would not respond until i read the last
statement

simplest way is to copy data onto cd/dvd, then transfer to second drive.
keep the dvds as third baxkup

note: does amount to a certaiun amouint of time expendituire. if this is to
be avoided, more advanced systems should be used, basically encompassing the
terminalogy "auto-complete"
seek others advice of others for recommendations.

i would do part A for a period of time, until you become familiar with the
process, then decide how it should be automated

all this stated -- imho

Subject: [wdvltalk] OT: setting up external hard drive for backup
purposes


Hi,

Just wondering if anyone out there would mind sharing their expertise as to
the best way to set up an external hard drive for backup purposes.  What
hardware does one need to do this via USB connection?  What software is
recommended to use for the backups?  How do I determine what size external
drive I need? Any pitfalls or warnings?  Can a hardware dummy (like me) do
this without trouble?  Whatever you wish to share I want to hear, thanks!
