Broken bones stink:) asked:


I want to basically replicate my computer onto my external hard drive.

Space is not an issue on my external as its about 4 times the size of my computers hard drive. I have a 160GB Western Digital HD that just shows up as a removable disk with no software.

If you need more i will update, just ask…

Jeff Fox asked:


I’m looking to restore it to factory settings and system restore will only let me go back a month or so. I’m using Windows XP. The Emachine website has given me no help and they want to charge for phone assistance.

I just got a external hard-drive and was wondering if I could use it to back-up my mac with Time Machine as well as a hard drive to store my files, or will I need a second one?

I want to know the UPS brand name and price which can provide backup time of more than 3 hours for my home computer alone in India. It should be like a normal UPS connecting to a surge protector or power socket instead of connecting to an invertor.

Is sync-ing my computer good enough as backup?

By bo

computer backup
fuzzylogic asked:


I’m lost!

I just bought myself an external HDD to back up my work, and used the sync function that came with it, so now all my files are ’sync-ed’ from computer to external hdd.

However, the materials tell me that sync-ing is not a backup; what happens if I lose everything on my computer? Will the external hdd also lose everything?

Should I backup (copy and paste) AND sync with the program? What is the point of that!?

pokeluver1990 asked:


Like I’m about to pawn my DS because I seriously need some money, but I don’t want to lose all my information (Metroid Prime: Hunters scores) if someone does buy it. I know you can temporarily transfer it to another DS without wifi info, but I don’t have one, is there ANYWAY to backup this up to my computer, like use a homebrew app or something?
