Mirror Backup

[Guest]

I'm looking for a program that will mirror my internal to my external hard
drive. Is there a way to get around copying everything over daily or weekly
(time consuming)? Thanks for any help you can provide.

You'll need a third-party imaging program.

Mirroring is a RAID function. Get a bootable RAID card or mobo w/RAID.

Another reply mentions solutions for cloning.

Since most externals can't boot, a clone is virtually idiotic. A better
solution to an external is an image backup. Hell of lot faster too.
