hi-
i have a compaq presario 8000T. 250 GB hard drive (i think it's a western digital). i bought this from bestbuy about 1 1/2/ yrs ago. i don't have any cds for the software that is installed on this computer (like XP, Office, etc.). all this stuff came pre-installed.
i am not backing the drive up which is what I have questions about.
i would like to start a regular backup strategy. i want to be able to recover quickly if for some reason i can't boot from my current drive. i'd don't want to have to re-install everything. so i'm looking for suggestions.
- should i install another internal drive and backup to that?
- can i backup to an external drive?
any suggestions?????
thanks in advance ...
