Vista Ultimate backup vs raid 1 and which controller

[vangvace]

All, thanks again for the info all.

For now I'm using Vista Ultimate's backup utility to back up my data drive to another drive. Also I'm planning on monthly DVD burns. Is there an option in some back-up programs to just move to disk files modified since last burn? (Sorry I know it's prob a dumb question)

Jack thanks for the info on the NAS. It'll have to wait till next year's tax return but since the number of machines I have at home is increasing, central storage seems like the way to go. I was thinking about using the system I just upgraded from but that's going to my daughter for webkins and fisher price drawing thingy.


leon- I absolutely positively hate norton ghost. I haven't built an image with it, but my software guys like to create images instead of building from scratch. Too bad their images never work or they do something else not so smart. Like take an AMD gateway image and try to put it on an intel dell, then wonder what went wrong.

The Netgear NAS Duos just hit newegg.

$399 for the 500 GB model....$505 with twin 500 Giggers.

ICH9R may be the better. I personally like to rely on some freeware backup software to protect the data on my drives even I also uses the raid1. This make feel more secure about my data(losing them was really a disaster for my job). I can't estimate any other reasons of crash on my computer. 🙁 I had been using free todo backup for a long time.

To get away from your wife's anger, be careful about the safety of your data. 😀
