Backups are one of the most important, and often neglected task of home users. We recently ran a 5 part series, Options for Home Computer Backup. My current backup plan involves a Windows Home Server, online backup of photos (SmugMug), and a portable USB hard drive for notebook backup while traveling.

Our free computer help forums often have posts from people desperate to save their digital memories, because they lack adequate backups. Whether it’s a hardware failure, malware infection, or human error, protect your digital treasures with adequate backups. Seagate presents attractive options, and their 5-year warranty ensures peace of mind.

Update: We have a winner!

    I don't really backup, although I do use ADrive for my rarely used files, Dropbox, and burned DVDs. Most of my files I uploaded to MegaUpload and MediaFire so there's not too much I can't redownload.

    I usually back up my important files on two other drives. If I want a more permanent solution I burn the files to a DVD or a CD depending on the size of the files or purpose of the backup.

    I have backups all over the place! Backups of backups. Backups of files I no longer need backed up. (Does that count as a "backup"?)

    I burn CDs and DVDs with important data as they are added to the computer, and make complete images onto an external USB hard drive.

    I sure would like one that connects to the network, though. ;)

    I was lucky for now (knocking on wood) and when my HDD failed several times I always was able to recover it’s content with some recovery software (even after formatting it!)…

    I now bought a TabletPC and when i try to synchronize most of my improtant data between my PC/TPC/WM phone with Live Mesh and Dropbox I periodically have some data on my TPC which arent synchronized. Most of them are work related and it would be really bad if I lost them which is quite easy as normal notebook HDDs fail quite often and SSDs are too expensive as of now :(

    A: Currently, I don't have a big enough hard drive to make a system restore point each month. But I backup all of my word/excel/PPT docs to my 1GB flash drive. Everything else (music/pictures/videos) is backed up to DVD's.

    backing up files is so important. usually i backups my files by the following methods.

    1.- collecting same type of files in the same storage device. an example, all photos, all music, all dloaded movies, DVD, should be stored separately.

    2.- using online storages.

    3.- once a month, I create a system restore point.

    4.- using a flash drive.

    5.- installing a "reboot to restore software" like deep freeze. it really counts to have this installed. and if you wonder how i save data with my system frozen, heres what I do:
    i only freeze the drive C not, not Drive D. so i only need to scan and backup the files in drive D bcoz its the drive that is vulnerable.

    Q: How do You backup your Important Data?

    A: I backup my Mail, Documents, Music, and other personal files, my Linux backups and my favorites and other important files. I do this every couple of months, and I use a Seagate 160 Gig external Drive. I learned from experience that you should backup files as necessary, and keep that backup current. This way, if there is a problem, and I lose something, or I have to reformat, I can keep my backups from both machines on one drive. Would LOVE another drive for additional backup capacity however!!

    My current backup consists of a three-layer system. My main computer consists of a tablet and I usually carry with me a portable harddrive (actually it's my old laptop drive that I replaced and bought an enclosure for it) to which I frequently backup my documents and pictures. At least once a week I synchronize all my documents and pics to my old desktop computer drive (which pretty much just works as a kind of NAS). Then every couple of months I make DVD backups of all the important stuff, label them with the date, file them and hope I'll never need them.

    When the motherboard in my older sister's laptop overheated and fried (from leaving it on a bed while turned on, which I warned her would do that), I took it apart and salvaged what I could from it...including a 2.5" 80GB IDE HDD. After that, all that was left for me to do was buy a USB External HDD Enclosure for like $10 and voila! Instant backup drive.

    I use Norton 360 (version 1) to semi-automatically backup all the files and folders I deem important. It's very convenient and it's saved my butt numerous times over. It automatically starts backing up new files whenever the computer is idle for about 30 minutes.

    I wouldn't recommend using N360 v2, however, as it backs up your files into compressed, unreadable files which can't be restored unless you use N360 v2 to do it, whereas v1 just stores the files whole, and with the same folder scheme they were initially in.

The second is box.net i upload all my pictures and different files there. I also get most of my pictures printed and then burn a dvd/cd (size dep) whit all the pictures from that shoot. Those then go in to an album with the dvd/cd encase i need to reprint them ever. Would love the external HD would make life a lot more efficient.

    Depending on the importance of data, they are being backed up to different media or to multiple media.

    Data that's being modified regularly are backed up to a thumbdrive.

    Data which aren't expected to change (such as PDF files) are backed up to an external hard disk (a Seagate 80GB external HDD). If they are important, these files will also be copied to another computer.

    Very important files will be backed up to a thumbdrive, an external hard disk, copied to another computer and uploaded to an online file hosting service (Mediafire).

    Okay.. To be honest, I'm a mobile person.. I travel a lot.. I have a laptop that already full with data (my hard disk is only 40gb).. And I depend on my 8gb thumbdrive, and DVDs for back-ups..

    I have loads of documents that I used in my daily life and most of it is stored inside the 8gb pendrive acting as my keychain.. That's include all the tools that I need to do logs at Geekstogo! I have to do some cleanup to my thumbdrive weekly.. Well, you can figure it out..

    Most of my pics and movies are cramped out inside my laptop, and the most important memories and data are burned in the DVD.. I have loads of DVDs that stays in my laptop bag all the time.. I would like to transfer all my pictures and data to a single huge external back-up storage.. That would helped me a lot and will make my life easier..

    So, long story short.. I either use my 8gb thumbdrive (for documents) or DVDs (pictures and movies) as my backup storage..

    I used to use DVDs but they took forever and I always let it slip, so I've moved to a hard drive only methodology.

    My backup system now consists of a 3-layer defense-in-depth strategy.

    1st level: I have a RAID 10 array in my PC (performance + redundancy but at higher cost).

    2nd level: As I have a home network I have scheduled the following batch file to be run by the Administrator account at 4am every Tuesday morning.

    Copy C:\BackupLog.txt D:\BackupLog.txt
    LogOff 0
    LogOff 1
    LogOff 2
    ChkDsk D: /x >C:\BackupLog.txt
    Xcopy D:\My_Documents \\Evil-K8NS\Share_Data\Kurt_Docs /d /e /v /y >>C:\BackupLog.txt
    Xcopy "C:\Documents and Settings\Kurt\Application Data\Mozilla" \\Evil-K8NS\Share_Data\Kurt_Mozilla /d /e /v /y >>C:\BackupLog.txt
    Defrag C: >>C:\BackupLog.txt
    Defrag D: >>C:\BackupLog.txt
    "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Spybot - Search & Destroy\SpybotSD.exe" /taskbarhide /autoupdate /autoimmunize /autocheck /autofix /autoclose >>C:\BackupLog.txt

    3rd level: I have an additional 1TB drive that I bring home from work and update once a month on the day before patch Wednesday.

    I have a 120GB drive backing up my 200GB laptop. In other words, right now I have to be very selective of of what gets backed up.

    Oh, and I should probably mention that the drive has been dropped once. Still appears to be working, but I am not entirely confident in it.

    Anything crucial gets backed up to DVD also.

    My current backup plan is this:
    Firstly, a prayer to merciful Minerva that nothing will ever go wrong with my laptop and that it will never get stolen or damaged, despite the amount of travelling I do.
    Secondly, if anything should ever go wrong, God forbid, I would check that all my music and photos are still on A-drive, where I deposited them for free several months ago and then completely forgot about. I would, of course, lose anything added to my laptop since I uploaded them, but there you go.
    Thirdly, I would root out the DVDs to which I copied the same music and photos, just in case. I'm pretty sure I backed them up properly...Once again, anything added in the past half year would be lost.

    So, I think I have most of the things that I would hate to lose backed up, even if it is in a rather half-arsed fashion. Whether I still have the registration numbers for various software I'm running, I couldn't say for sure. Either way, it would be annoying to have to search out and download the relevant software that it has taken me a while to put together from various free offers. (I wonder where those registration numbers are?)

    If I had a genuinely safe backup I would, for the first time in my life, do a Dell System Restore. I think I have accumulated so much trash over the years, both in the registry and everywhere else, that the thought of having my laptop back to its pristine condition is really very attractive. This time I would know how to look after it from the get-go, not like when I first got it. Until now I have never dared try a system restore, just in case something goes horribly wrong, A-Drive goes bust on the same day and my backup DVDs turn out to contain only error messages.

    More than anything, having an external drive big enough to take not only a copy of the contents of my own laptop, but also perhaps a copy of my mum's and girlfriend's computers as well, would make me feel less nervous about my amateurish attempts to make either of them load in less than 20 minutes on startup.

I use flash memory (CF card in a card reader) to backup frequently used data files (Quicken, etc). I have Acronis True Image Home which I use to drive the USB drive.

    For my legacy system, I have a SCSI tape drive; the backups are slow, and they are costly (not being in an air purified environment, the tapes are destroyed in a year or two by ambient dust). Finally, for redundancy and to see if there was an easier, less time-consuming way, I bought an external network drive, enabling me to easily transfer data between my main system and my backup computer. Worked fine...until the network drive developed problems. The manufacturer, SimpleShare, is very slow and apparently indifferent about providing useful tech support. I want a reliable network drive for local backups. I'm debating subscribing to an online backup service - the benefit being it's offsite and automatic - for redundant backup capability.

An offsite backup would be a good thing, but I haven't worked out logistics because my internet connection at home is too slow to be practical.

    I do backup manually, with a shell script that I wrote (I'm on Linux). It basically just makes a .tgz archive of the entire system (Linux works differently than Windows, so yes this is possible :) ) minus whatever I exclude, and to restore, you just extract it at /. This can even be done _while_ the system is running, which I find pretty crazy. I would like a safer method, however.. I also don't have enough space to do a backup of anything but system files!

    As a lecturer of finance, the most important data for me are the lecture slides, problem sets, quiz questions and their solutions, grades of my former students (in case they request me for a recommendation later). Equally critical for me are video recordings of lectures offered both by me and the faculty that I invite for guest lectures. Of these, the slides, questions and gradesheets are archived at the end of every course and mailed to my gmail account (and labeled appropriately for quick retrieval). I also carry these constantly on my 8GB Sandisk pendrive. Since uploading video lectures takes time and since they occupy too much of my precious disk space, I just cut CDs and hope that they don't get scratched from multiple readings.

    My personal data such as photos, financial data, I either upload them to my gmail account or cut CDs. I have long been thinking of getting a backup harddisk that would let me store everything at one central place and let me sleep easy. While I can store all my data - course archives, videos, photos, data - etc in the desktop storage solution, I can also carry the required course material and crucial personal stuff in the portable hard-disk.

    I currently use m$ Backup to backup my key documents to another HDD in the system. This currently runs twice a week. Once every other month or so I will burn the latest backup to a CDRW. That way I have a backup that's at most a couple of days old sat on a drive in the system and if everything on the PC dies I have a backup that's at most a couple of months old.

    I have multiple backup strategies depending on the file type. Here goes:

    Movies - various smallish hard drives attached to my DVR and burnt to DVDs.

    Images - 1 copy on desktop, 1 copy on OQO, 1 copy split over USB memory.

    Music - 1 copy on desktop, 1 copy on Media PC, 1 copy on various DVDs.

    Docs and other data - 1 copy on desktop, 1 copy on OQO, some on Nokia E90.

    I know it sounds like a mess and it is. I've been meaning to buy an extra large hard drive to consolidate it all but real life keeps swallowing what little money I have. Can you guess how this prize package would help me?

    If I feel a need for something to be stored off-site, I'll do the laborious "burn file sub-systems to DVD" approach. Otherwise, it is much faster to copy files across my home network, to a system with enough empty storage to accept what I'm stashing. 500 GBytes would open up THAT avenue just a bit.

    Over the years i've lost a 500mb (my GCSE and A Level projects, MUD code, Fido backups), a 4gb (all my old BBS stuff and contacts), a 10gb (Uni photos contacts my entire mail store) a pair of 40gbs (My utilities, images, install tweaks and old project work) and a 200gb (good bye my mp3's). That was the worst losses.

    An external drive to backup to would make my life easier. I'd stop putting things off and actually do a proper backup.

    Failing that... I will get a pair of 1tb drives come Feb and properly mirror them. Move all my stuff to them and get rid of the old drives... including the squeeking 40gb that occasionally looses itself in windows. (nothing wrong with its SMART status so figure it wont die yet.)

    I just bought a Seagate 500gb external on black Friday. If I won this, I'd give one of the Desks to my mom, because she has all kinds of computer problems, and the portable I'd use to save all my graphic designs from work, so I always have them on hand for a portfolio.

    Oooooo, I do not have a major back-up plan. We have a couple of computers, so if I really like something (like a picture, an essay, a pdf), I'll send it to my husbands computer via email or put it on a flash drive. So elementary... I guess I'll read your series and get into shape! I'd love to. It's my resolution!

    My current backup setup is a second hard drive on my computer running a second operating system, so that if one hard drive becomes corrupt I can still access it using my second boot OS.

    I really don't have a backup plan at the moment, I do transfer some important documents to a flash drive but i broke that a little while ago...(I should use one of my others and re-backup the documents)

    I don't have much of a backup method. I use CDs, DVDs and flash memory... I need this.

    I don't have a backup plan due to the fact that my computer replicates material if I back it up...and that takes away from the storage capacity. I know it's strange, but it's beyond my control.

    I have some of my data backed up on-line and some on flash drives. This prize will make backing up much easier. Thanks for the contest

    I phone JOHN and yell, "HELP!" He comes over and backs up my computer. I have no clue what he does or how he does it. I'm Dino The Dinosaur, he's Techie The Terrific.

    I know I'm overdue for a back-up.

    Great contest!

    I currently have no backup drive for my laptop, and am in great need of one. I generally backup using time machine, works great.
