hello all,
i have a windos xp os and i was just wondering what's the best
way to back up my Hard disk on my pc, or the easiest way, I
have a 1TB ex hd, I mostly want to to back up music, movies
and I would like to know
what software is best to back up as well?
Thank you for your answers in advance.
The most respected utility is Acronis True Image.
You can back up the whole disc or just selected parts of it.

Well there are many ways to backup and many great software out
there to do so even for free. Although if you are bent towards
Acronis True Image for some reason, you can get them for free if
you use a WD, Seagate, or Maxtor hard drives.
If you have WD hard drive:
If you have a Seagate/Maxtor hard drive:

The version on those sites is sufficiently crippled that in my
view, the paltry sum of £40 is worth it for the fully functional
version.
I have the full version and I like what you call the crippled
version far better. As it does cloning, backing, restoring, and
verifying. And what more do you need? I liked it so much, I
uninstalled my full version. ;-)
What was your full version?
Acronis True Image Home 2009 (v12)
Why is the "crippled" version better?
It is better for me since it doesn't sport all of the other junk I'll
never use anyway. All I want from Acronis True Image is to backup and
restore. I don't want it to handle my emails, wipe my disks, run a
sandbox environment, etc. As I have my favorite stuff for those tasks
anyway.
To even LOOK at the freebie requires that my ver. 2009 has to be
uninstalled first. Nope. I've been paying for True Image since
version 8. I'll stick with the one that's loaded with all the bells
and whistles.
It is up to you, but I uninstall both all of the time. And I haven't
experience any problems yet. And if you are like one in a million who
did, you do have backups do you not?
