The backup freak

[Richard]

I just have to have a backup of all my backups and a image of my C:\ and
have that stored in 2 places. I haven't done an mirror because you make a
mistake in one hard drive then that mistake is in your mirror drive also. So
what about this. I build a mirror and then put in a third hard drive for
manual backups that I can tweak and so forth. Does this sound like a plan. I
also have everything on DVD. But this is my plan because the DVD backup.
Does anyone have a better idea because when it comes to backups I'm all
ears.

Thanks
Richard

I have had limited experience in the areas of backup, but I have worked with
the new Complete PC Backup Utility in Vista which is just excellent, here is
a link to my tutorial:

In a word: MOZY

My data is encrypted and then backed up online, a couple of
times a day. Since I live on a laptop, it's great to know that
theft, loss, or damage on the road costs me nothing but hardware.

It's initially free up to some point. Several friends have
signed up for free accounts and for each of them I get some
additional increment. I now use about 75% of my FREE 3.5GB
allocation. I've tested Mozy a couple of times, asking for
archived files, and get what I want - at no cost and on a timely
basis.

Once a week, my critical stuff gets dumped onto a DVD.

I'm sure the experts will find fault with this, but I get only
confidence from Mozy.

May you never need a backup!
