How to Back Up Your Computer with a USB drive
How to Back Up Your Computer
You never think losing your files will happen to you until it actually does, and you're caught without a backup. Backups are extremely easy to keep, so there's no reason not to have one. Here's how to set one up. Whether you accidentally delete a file or lose a bunch of your data to a hard drive crash, regularly backing up your machine is always a good idea. Both Windows and Mac OS X have great built-in backup utilities, so it only takes a few steps to get started. Here's what you need to do. On Windows
On a Mac
There is, of course, one downside to this method. While it'll save you if you accidentally delete a file or have hard drive issues, it won't save you if, say, you have a fire. For truly bulletproof backup, you'll want to back up all your data online, so you can get it back wherever you are (and whatever happens to your hardware). You can also do a backup with DVD's please read here. Code: [Check Download Links]

Re: How to Back Up Your Computer with a USB drive
As i keep telling friends the only thing that should be on a computer is the OS and software. All files and persona data should be on a portable HDD. that way if you crash you files and data are safe and you dont loose anything except time to reformat and install the OS and software.
I personally have NO backup of any kind i do have copies of favorites on my portable along with all files and personal data and it is encrypted. every 6 months i scrub my computer and reinstall everything. never had a problem in over 5 years since i have been doing this. quack quack rubberduck |

Re: How to Back Up Your Computer with a USB drive
I have done much the same as rubberduck.
I have bought a portable HDD on who I have all my sensetive data. Portable hard drives are not that expensive. Mine is 1TB (USB2)and cost 100$ a year ago. Another advantage for me having both a laptop and a desktop. I do not have to have two sets of data. It is easier just to move you data from your hard disk to a portable HDD than take a backup. If you have the OS on CD and making a copy of all applications you use,included serial number, on one external medium, it is easy to reconstruct after a crash. That is, if all other data is on an external drive.
