I’m a little paranoid about backups. My entire business and life are on my computer system. So I’ve been doing what you suggested for a long time.

I have two external drives. I back up and store one in a safe deposit box at the bank along with all my program disks. The other drive I keep in the office for day to day backups. Every so often, I’ll swap the drives. If something bad happens, I’ll have most of my business / life saved.

I also have a disaster sheet with all my essential programs listed along with product keys, set up information for e-mail and internet accounts, passwords, everything.

It’s a PIA to keep up with, but I’ve had some virus issues and so I’m realistic about what could happen. Always, always stay backed up.

Mosey –

Thanks for your comment. I’ll take a peek at Acronis and SyncBack.

My colleague was telling me that Acronis (whilst not free but does have a free trial period) is *The* backup software – it images your entire drive – so you can choose to mount it as a new drive (within a new drive should anything happen) or just image the whole thing to a new computer/backup. He said it was very compact at least!
At the moment, I’m using SyncBack (the free version) to do weekly backups, but they are really only for file documents rather than the whole system (OS/software) etc.

Wow, Carbonite seems to offer unlimited backup for less than $5 a month. I’ll have to look into that as well and google some reviews …

I use CMS automatic backup system:

The neat thing about carbonite is that it claims to backup constantly in the background without slowing down your computer or internet connection.
