  • RAID 1!!!!! :P

  • or RAID 0+1 if you can afford the 4th HDD., then ya get speed and reliability :)

  • The only sure way to backup everything is onto multiple DVDs, and to make many copys.

  • Your cool ( non sarcastically )

  • hey..not bad..this geek is married

  • i do a fully backup every week... and i partial backup every night

  • ice cream!

  • ahh i love when poeple at school say, ugh i did system recovery and lost all my files, then i laugh at them and say, "Its called a 32gb flash drive and the abilty to drag and drop" If you have more then 32gb of documents, pictures, music, videos, etc. You really dont need that much. XD.

  • hey chris..

    I was asked to backup software (most of the software this person has the cd's are old and worn).. Is there any way to do this? I thought of accessing the setup files from program files but haven't attempted it. give me a call back if you have any idea

  • Nice work. keep it up. mean time come for social media marketing for esteembpo**com dkh

  • I use Time Machine and it backs up every hour.

    I LOVE MAC OS X!!

  • Can you backup files that were already deleted?

    Please reply!

  • LOL someone wasnt careful

  • Eveyday dude

  • backup every week if you can. trust me if you lose you important data you'll not be laffin.

  • I totaly agree.

    I have been through the no back-system but in a weired way.

    I backed up most of my things like my documents and program setups so I don't have to suck bandwith when I restore but I never backup my truecrypt volume which had all my product keys.

    Trust me. Back up almost anything.

    It ain't pretty to lose important data.

  • What's the name of the external enclosure Chris mentioned? I have one from Thermaltake but honestly, it's flimsy and I don't really trust it. External enclusers are hard to shop for, so I'd love to know the name of this one!

  • I believe chris uses a time capsule(apple)

  • Checkout "Idlebackup" search for it.

  • well i have all my documents on a flash drive and a copy on an ext harddrive and all my videos and music on both the ext harddrive, ps3, and mp3 player so i'm not really worried about losing anything

  • 8:10

  • help!!!! my internal Hard drive is making weird noises and i want to back up my hard drive but i'm more interested in backing up WINDOWS OPERATING SYSTEM INTO A EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE HOW DO I DO THAT PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ HELP!!!!!!!! I unfortunately lost my windows installation disk and i dont want to go out and buy another windows PLZZZZ HELPPPPPPPPPPPP

  • If anyone you know has the same manufacturer for your computer with the same os then you can borrow their's then use the activation key you got with the install disc.

    If you lost that too then download a program called siw (system information for Windows) so then you can grab your product key and write it onto a peice of paper.

    Hope that helps you!

  • thanks

  • mmm...ice cream. I've got some "backed up" in my freezer. ;)

  • Rdiff-backup hourly for me, along with SSH access and rsync over an SSH tunnel for remote access to all backups, ever... Life is good.

  • well now with time machine i backup every hour. I am grateful that it exists.

  • Not Funny.

  • i am bob

  • I keep most of my document, photo, video, audio files to a seperate partition, then to an external Hard drive, finally to the Web at the end of 2 weeks.

  • I use Carbonite. It does live offsite backups all the time. There's a lot of features it doesn't have, but it's cheap. It's a great supplement to ordinary backups, but probably not a good replacement for regular backups.

  • my sata drive broke a week ago as the people that i brought my pc from was putting in both sata power and 4 pin power into the hard drive and i think its basically over powered or overheated as i had been using my pc a lot in the last few weeks but it come with a 3 year warranty but i still lost every thing :(

  • Ponzi is the greatest, you gotta love her Chris

  • Its called System Restore...and it works!I know youre an Apple fanboy but give MS sum cred. =D

  • Chris Pirillo is not a Apple fanboy. But he's is right with these tips.

  • hes not self pro-claimed but he does have fanboy tendencies...lol

    And Im not baggin on him. I love him and his show so dont make this about flaming cuz its not. =D

  • She's one great woman, Chris! *rofl*

    :)

  • I back up every hour with Time Machine!

  • Thankfully Firefox has foxymarks now in case you forgot to backup your bookmarks.

  • Your wife makes you ice cream. You are a lucky man.

  • You guessed right.  I haven't backed up for 4 years.

  • Good tips dude. It'd sacrilege to lose the porn I have amassed over the last few years.

    XD

  • Can the fact that sometimes my computer's fan sometimes seems to spaz out and go into overdrive meen my hard drive is going to fail? Because my parents say that when this comp craps out I will never get another...

  • even if your hard drive dose fail its not big deal maybe 60 bucks for a new one and your ready to go lol

  • What about my game saves? All my downloads? Drivers that weren't on CD that took me 2 days to find?

  • thats your porb and after you install xp again you can get the drivers by windows updates alot of times anyways so about the other stuff your shit out of luck lol

  • I am talking about my camera drivers...

  • lol you do deserve a treat^.^

  • i get two errors when i start up my pc.

    first error: sata device not found

    second error: ide channel 1 hdd s.m.a.r.t master disk capability disabled.

    the computer runs fine but i still dont want the erros and i think this happened because i changed something in the bios setup. can anyone help me?

  • Did you have some sort of power outage? Did you just install it and what is the type of HDD (brand)?

  • When in bios, you should see something like "enable Hard drive S.M.A.R.T function". Enable that. The first error is kind of weird o.O But, if you're going into bios, you might as well disable the "display errors" function.

  • maybe he is just using ide drives only?

  • johnaitin yeah i am only using ide drives and maybe i activated something to search for a sata device

  • thanks i'll try that next time i start my pc

  • yeah, there should be a setting for your sata/raid controller to switch it off

  • johnaiton i went into it and SIS Serial ATA mode was on RAID so i switched it over to IDE which fixed it but i havent been able to enable the hard drive S.M.A.R.T function

  • smart isn't important

    it's just a hard drive health function

    it's ok if you leave it off, speedfan shows the smart data anyway

  • should i switch to xp? i have vista...and how do i do this? how do i do what he's talking bout>?

  • why is all chris's videos related to fear of flying?

  • My Computers hard disk crapped out yesterday

    ....majorly

    and i haven't backed up.

    lost 500GB of very important data

  • nice backing up at the start... lol :D
