How can I backup 40GB worth of data in my pc using an external hard drive?
-
I use Norton Ghost together with DVD-RW as the media for backing up. Unfortunately, as the DVD burner I use (Liteon SOHW-1693) only burns DVD-RW at 4X,it requires more than 10 hours, plus I have to be there to keep changing the DVD-RW. Is there a backup software out there that recognises external hard disk drive (connected through USB 2.2 port) as the backup media and is fast. Thanks!

Answer:
I would highly recommend CasperXP. It's saved me a few times now and makes a complete bootable clone of the disk. The best thing is that it can backup whilst you are still using XP and has smart clone technology so that on subsequent backups it will only backup changed sectors of the hard disk reducing backup time considerably. It will work with external USB hard disks.

If you want to buy another external hard drive that backs up every night (or however often you wish), buy one from Maxtor. Or if you already have an external hard drive that doesn't come with a back-up software (like I do), I suggest you download "Windows One Care Live". It's still in beta version. NOTE: It's also a firewall and anti-virus program, so you'll have to remove other anti-virus program installed on your machine. So, I suggest you go and buy another external hard drive from Maxtor AFTER Christmas since they will go on sale.
