Hi All

We lost quite a lot of our info in a computer crash at the start of the year and don’t want to go through it again. It’s not so much the backing up of photos etc that concern me, even I can do that ?. It’s loosing things like the settings Fred from EO has set up for the GPS (thanks again Fred), we lost an old family tree program that was on a floppy, no floppy access on the laptop, yes I know there is something to convert it.
Anyway, what I’m looking at is a mirror image of the hard drive, operating system included, this way I might lose a bit of current stuff but the all the programs, major updates etc will all be at hand should the worse happen again. So what program do I use? The more user friendly the better!! Wondering if I need an external hard drive or can it be done to a large usb thumb drive? If your HD is say 300Gb but it is showing only 110MB used could this be mirrored to a 128GB stick?
I’m sure there is plenty I’ve missed here.
Appreciate you help.
Cheers Lyndon
