The Back-up fashion
It seems to me that in the last 6 to 12 months there has been a real increase in the talk in various podcasts about taking proper back ups. It's not really surprising, just think of how much data we rely upon in our personal lives these days. All those pictures of our kids, our music, financial information and much more.
So I've decided to follow this fashion and I have purchased two 500GB external drives. One for drive images and the other for data.
I think I'll be using syncback for data files and Acronis for drive images since this is able to do incremental imaging the drive images. Though Arconis may be able do the data back up as well I have yet to find out if it has the same advantage of creating data back up profiles. I've decided to avoid symantec's Ghost, as with many symantec products it seems to be getting bloated these days.
Anyway... though I am still trying to decide what software to use and how to schedule it, for now its safe to say I am getting serious about making sure my data is backed up and being a dedicated follower of this fashion.

you just been looking for an excuse to buy some new toys ! - Hob.
Yes and no...
Yes I like to buy new toys, can't deny it and who doesn't, but I have to say the main reason to get this sort of thing backed up is protecting the memories and other data.
I honestly could not imagine how annoyed I and the missus would be if we lost the pics and videos of our wee girl when she was younger.
