After reading PetNanny's post about losing 8yrs of work, it has made me want to get my backups sorted.
At the moment I'm using the facility in Windows XP to back up my C drive to an external hard drive, but because I've not managed to successfully set the scheduler, I have been relying on memory to do it (wrong I know
).
I would like to schedule daily back ups of my C drive so I don't have to remember to do it, and also make a direct copy of some program data that I use daily and would like to be able to access quickly if I accidentally mess up the version on my C drive...the trouble is that I don't know what type of back up to choose - the options I have are normal, copy, incremental, differential and daily. From the one line description of each type, there doesn't appear to be much different between incremental and differential, so which one is the best one for me to choose?
Would be grateful for help pleeeeeease...
