Back to the original question, I tend to keep automatic backups simple. I
use "Karen's Replicator" found on the jaws-users program page. It is
completely accessible, efficient, and does not take up resources. The only
way I can tell if it is currently copying files is to check the System Tray.
It never slows down my computer. I backup all my data to another computer
in my house every day. I also perform archives that keep separate copies of
vital data, such as my Financial and Medical folders. Using tags as
subfolder names for month and year, it keeps an archive copy every month. I
also installed it on my daughter's computer not only to backup her data, but
to make a local copy of her drawing folder where she works on her art
projects. After she had a major breakdown the night before a major project
was due because gimp destroyed her drawing! So now I made it automatic that
a copy of that folder is made every 15 minutes using the hour as a tag for
the subfolder. Now every drawing she works on has 24 copies and if she has
a catastrophe, she can go back in time 24 hours to a time where her drawing
was in tact. That's even better than the Omega 13!

I saw it on amazon, but New Egg, Tiger Direct Buy.com and so on carry it
too. Just copy and paste the following into either Amazon's search field
or
any old search engine:
Seagate FreeAgent Go 1 TB USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drive
I've got about 900 gb of stuff and I'm looking for a back up for my other
external drive and figured why not get a portable one instead of another
power cord desk top set up type of deal. That's why I'm interested in this
particular model. I believe Western Digital has a portable drive with the
same capacity, but the SeaGate has better reviews. The back up program is
the only thing I wanted a bit more information. Other then that, it looks
like a solid buy.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] question on pre-loaded back up/sync software on
Seagate FreeAgent Go 1 TB USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drive and jaws
Hello list,
I am looking to buy the Seagate FreeAgent Go 1 TB USB 2.0 Portable
External
Hard Drive and was wondering if anyone's had a chance to deal with the
included synchronization software that comes with it? Drives I've had in
the
past have come with back up/sync programs and for the most part, they
havent' been that accessible. Memio comes to mind. In any event, I was
just
curious if from other's experiences if this pre-loaded software is pretty
much the same or if it's more manageable with Jaws.
You can check out the page for more specs at:
http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-FreeAgent-Portable-External-ST910004FAA2E1-RK/
dp/B002SYYO3A/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1266614599&sr=1-2
If worse comes to worse, I guess I can do the whole cut and paste method,
but I would if possible like to be able to do automatic back ups and so
on.
Any input would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
