I am a novice at computing and seek some advice please. I am aware that I should back up my files/photos etc but am unsure of the best method. I did start to use discs for the photos but this took an age. Would it be best to use an external hard drive or possibly a memory stick? In either case which is the best make at reasonable cost. My pc's hard drive capacity is 37gb with 8gb unused. Many thanks.
How where you doing it ? I back up everything on either CDR or DVD .. It doesn't take that much time at all.. What software do you use ?
I'm running on XP and use the 'copy to cd' option within 'my pictures'. Part of the problem is that I have about 60 folders with an average size of 250mb. I am copying to Memorex 700mb CD-RWs. It just seems that the copy process is very long winded. Are you saying that CDs are a safer back up than external hard drive? If so which are best and can I get them bigger than 700mb? Many thanks
