I would still burn DVD/CDs or DVD/CD-RW.
External HD is exactly the same HD as the one you have inside your PC. It might fail, the question is when(c)? |

That may be true, but burning to me is a pain in the butt and I don't think this will fail right away, if it does I do have the existing data on the cd's now. I figure if the drive seems to get sluggish or something wrong, get another and then transfer to new. Heck they are cheap enough.
Actually in all my years of computers I have not had a hard drive fail me yet...... I may have a windows crash but the hard drives have always worked. Cd's do not as in my case I have a few that are useless with my info. |

I've set up a "Briefcase" with my files (it'll synchronize them for me) both on the HD and my 4gb flash drive. I just do an "update all" operation periodically, and anytime I've done something significant to either set, and I'm good to go. I figure the likelihood of both sets going out is small enough to live with, and anything external that took them both out, would most likely get any CD/DVD backups as well.

If you're using XP, you might try SyncToy (free from Microsoft):

Heh. It doesn't really, JSWolf, it's accidental bleed-over from another discussion.

How long did it take to get to you? Do they send an email with tracking information or is it send via USPS? I see where they have charged my card, but that's all. I guess I am just anxious. Ellen |

It came through the post office priority mail, they shipped it I believe one or two days after they said they would, but it got it very fast..... I have no complaints at all. It has postal tracking but I find that usually useless until the item has arrived. Yes they did email me and told me it shippped on the 28th..... they also supplied a post office tracking number (just went and looked)
