I got an external hard drive (Acclaim Verbatim 320G).
I have been wanting for a long while to back up files for just in case my pc or whatever dies on me.
So here's my sitrep.
My experience falls to basically using thumb drives and saving individual files. Should I just save the files that I don't want to lose or back up the drives on my PC and laptop?
The unit I got came with a Nero Backup program, I am always leery of using "free" programs, should I or shouldn't I use this program? Any others that can be suggested or is there some thing built into my PC (XP OS) that will do the job?
I'm no beginner with PC's but I'm not an expert either, so will appreciate any help I can get
