its better to have a backup on external hdd. I have 300GB ext hdd. Its easy to use and store. It will cost you like $70-$90.\n\nPS: Get a Internal HDD and an enclosure for it. Its cheaper that way.

well its quite easy actually,u can adopt this:\n\n1. buy a memory stick/ pen drive: this is an external removable hard drive which can store huge data and u can save ur documents in there. u can take it out while not using ur laptop and carry it\nits like a CD with more capacity\n\n2. burn into CD: which u have to do evryday after ur work being finished, but this has less storage\n\n3. u can make partition in ur hard drive, like C D E F.....if u r working on C drive create a backup storage in any other drive (for this just copy and paste).\nthis will ensure, u get ur data even if ur hard drive gets crashed.

Your tunes should be backed up as part of your backup routine.\nUse a remote computer share or removable drive such as a USB caddy so you can have separation beween your computer and backup. Windows backup will provide incremental backups so you don't have to backup evrything each time. Norton ghost 10 is an excellent way to backup your system.\n\nFor more details on a robust backup policy you sould read this article :http://www.dbnetsolutions.co.uk/articles/backup.aspx

I would recommend Vision Backup from http://www.vwsolutions.com.  They even have an open file plug-in that allows you to backup files while they are in use.

Boot to DOS, then run NTFSDOS. It will only allow you to read the files, but that should be enough to backup your stuff.\n\nhttp://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/NtfsDos.html\n\nIf the problem is more serious or if you have larger files you need to back up, I'd recommend purchasing VCOM Fix-It Utilities 6 Professional. You can find it at Amazon.

The best way is using Ghost.  Just run a ghost image of your pc and put in on a USB hard drive or any other media you please (of course needs to fit)   That is hands down the best way to do a Bare Metal Restore.  You could also mirror your drive using a Raid controler etc. and keep that drive else where as a back up copy...

backing up is a very important part of your computer day,theres nothing worse than having 20gb of precious data,photos,letters and forms and then suddenly your hard drive fails and you lose it all\n      all it takes is 10 minutes at the end of the day and all this can be avoided\n      you can back up many ways,one way is to use the windows based back up ,go to start>programs>accesories>system tools>back up>then follow the back up wizard to do your task,however this is pretty basic and is limited in its options\n      you can download or buy 3rd party software for backing up.go to http://www.download.com/3150-2242_4-0-1-0.html?qt=&author=&titlename=&desc=&dlcount=&daysback=&swlink=&gfiletype=&os=&li=49&dlsize=&ca=,and look through all the free back up software,read the user reveiws first so you dont download any rubbish\n      once you have decided which program you are going to use then to back up you first need to select the file(s) you need to back up,then select what typr of back up you want to do,then finally the destination for the back up(many users have external hard drives which they use to secure their data,but a very good way is to send them to removable media(cd/dvd-roms) this way they are saved forever and you can index them for easy access\n       many burning programs such as nero or roxio have back up options in them and these are ideal for backing up to cd/dvd-roms\n       the length of time it takes to back up is dependant on the amount of data you are using,it also depends on a) the type of hard drive(ata,sata,external)  and b)your p.c,s speed(ram,cpu speed),but a 1gb file would take about 2-3 minutes to back up\n        take it from me,set up a program for backing up,as you will thank me one day when your drive fails,and you have all your data safe on a dvd or on a hdd\n        good luck

You can do it two different ways, just reload the operating system (and all programs) or format the drive and start all over again.  If you choose the first option, you dont have to save the data, if you go with the second you have to.  Its always good to have a backup anyway, right?

you can use format master soft to backup of data,then first u restart your computer and go to boot menu by pressing f11 or f8 key ,then choose boot and select boot menu as cd drive and then exit by save changes,\n\nnow open your cd drive and put xp newest cd,and restart your computer then follow the steps

Try WinISO, I've made backups of my program cd's or dvd's this way.  It turns it into an .iso file which you can mount if you have daemon tools.\n\nhttp://ts.searching.com/torrent/232407/WinISO_5_3_and_Registration_Info\nhttp://ts.searching.com/torrent/538950/Daemon_tools_3_7

If you are running XP, just go Start>AllPrograms> Accessories>System Tools>Backup. Just follow the directions from there.

well, while crating backup there is 3 main issues :\n1) Software\n2) Disk, u're backuped data will be placed\n3) Strategy (in ur case it doesn't matter)\n\n1)As Software u can use win backup utility, but it's not save.\nAnd it's features range is quite  poor.\nso, it's much better to use 3_rd party software, such as True Image 10. This backup software has just released and can backup musics,video etc. Besides, it's rather cheap,\n2) It's up to ur data.  U can use DVD's, External disk or any other removable one(True Image, unlike many other, can backup directly to DVD).

do you mean just backing up data and you need help with doing that or do you mean making a clone of the hard drive and hence need some imaging tools like nortons ghost or true image by acronis or something to that extent also if you do a search on google for unattended that is a good one, its by sourceforge.net\n\nThat should help you out somewhat, I suggest you post back with some more info :)

Use a floppy disk or a CD(use a burner).You could also send yourself or somebody else an e-mail Whit the files attached and then just retrieve when you have your new computer set up.
