BadDog Pillar of the Community United States 1375 Posts	Posted 09/21/2019 09:04 am Personally, I continuously backup all data files using Norton Backup. The only way to do this is to have a connected drive. I also have an external drive that I backup data files and a HDD drive image to every month. I've found that this continuous + archival backup scheme works for me Report this Post to the Staff
just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 09/21/2019 10:32 am I like that remote backup stuff. Think I'll get one. Right now I have two separate hard drives in my main computer and I keep most items I need or want to keep on the second drive. First drive is for all programs and stuff like downloads. According to the people that built this thing, the second drive is non obtainable to outside sources. Sort of like remote drive but able to use with the main drive. Still I think a separate remote drive as discussed here would also be a great advantage. Right now I've got possibly several thousand photos on the second drive. Since I do not use a computer for personal items, such as paying bills, not much to worry about being hacked since nothing of any value except photos about my family and my cars.

They are cheap. I use Paragon for backups but Macrium is also good. I agree, that is a better idea.

mcshilling Pillar of the Community Canada 9168 Posts	Posted 09/23/2019 12:46 pm So you think it is better to leave the 1TB hard drive in and not replace with the SSD Report this Post to the Staff
KenKat Pillar of the Community United States 4085 Posts	Posted 09/23/2019 12:59 pm No, I / we are saying just have them add the SSD to the existing computer, leaving the 1TB drive in the computer as a secondary drive rather than buying an exclosure and power supply to make it into an external drive. You can buy a ready to go external USB drive for backup pretty cheaply - under $50 USD. My 7070 US Type Set My 7100 Lincoln Cent Set (now with updates!) Report this Post to the Staff

BStrauss3 Pillar of the Community United States 4594 Posts	Posted 09/24/2019 10:17 pm I'm a big fan of BackBlaze. It's a continuous backup service in the cloud, where you pay a fixed fee per machine for unlimited storage. If you have a decent Internet connection, it's another leg of the backup triangle. * Periodic full system (image) backups - something you do once a quarter or so... * File backups - (I use Acronis, but there are many other programs)... it does a full file backup and then on a schedule it backups changed files. * Continuous cloud service -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff
