The time when I should have really sorted out backing up my computer is long past, so I’m finally getting to it. Any experiences, suggestions welcome.
I’m planning to get a portable external hard drive which I can keep in a different place and backup the whole computer once a week.
I’ve now got about 20GB total on the computer (with a capacity of 140), so figure an 80GB storage will do for a long time to come.
I’m looking at say this Phillips from Amazon, which has Nero software which presumably should do all I need for a complete backup. (I’ve had bad experiences with Nero before, but perhaps it has got better?
Or perhaps I should buy a cheaper drive on eBay and also buy Norton Ghost, which some seem to suggest is THE solution. (But then I’ve had bad experiences with Norton too.)
Ahhh – computers don’t you love ’em.
(And for an encore tonight I’m planning to update my WordPress installations – one still running 1.5 and the other an early 2, but I believe if I install the latest I’ll solve the sending referrer problems … If you hear a faint screaming in the distance anywhere in Europe tonight it will probably be me. Any tips on this will also be welcome – I’m planning to work – carefully – off the Codex directions.)
