Amp-
I am a sales guy for a VAR during the day and work mostly with mid size enterprise groups. Not much small stuff, but not much huge stuff.
One of the IT managers gave me the greatest advise I have had...I went out and bought a 120g USB external HD and use windows scheduler to back it up every other night. There are three types of back up systems and you can read up on which methodology you like. Full, incredmental, and another one I can't remember anymore.
bottom line is this, I have had two computers belly flop and since I have this external drive with my C and D drives mirrored on it, all I have to do is plug the external drive into a USB port and I am up and going. No loss of time...something to think about....I did a little research and found the BUSLINK drive to be pretty reliable, but wish I had bought the 200G version.
One note, make sure you protect the external drive with a good UPS/surge protection unit, so you don't lose the world with a lightening bolt...I think I plunked 400 bucks down for mine.
