Question Windows XP What is the best / easiest way to back up my computer (60 GB HD)(periodically) so in the event of a HDD failure won't lose anything.
Answer It depends on whether you are looking to protect yourself ONLY against a hard drive failure or whether you need to protect against loss of individual files.
I would recommend getting an external drive and using dirve cloners like True Image or Ghost, to protect against drive failure. I would use one of many file based backups (its possible your external drive will come with such software) to protect individual files.
Hope this helps,
