Computer Crash Scare!

[Karen]

Karen where does it backup too? So if I have 2 external hard drives and I want to back them up where would i send that back up. Also here is a question for EHD users. My original EHD I didnt know what I was doing when I got the drive. I plugged it in and went through the process of what it said to do as a back up process. What it did was backup pretty much my entire computer which is not what I wanted. I really just wanted it as extra storage. Now it is completely full and it has so much stuff on it probably 75% I dont even care about. Does anyone know what i would do to get rid of all that mess without messing up the functionality of the EHD?

I use SyncToy to basically make an extra copy, so it'll back up whichever folders you tell it to, and it'll make a copy on the extra HD. Then you have choices on how you want future backups to be done. You can have it always mirror your original EHD so that if you delete something on the original EHD, it'll go and delete from your back up too. Or, you can just add new files. That's what I do. So if I accidentally delete something and don't realize, it'll still be on my backup EHD.
