Re: Question about Hoster back-up
I keep a small C: (system drive) with an operating system , and the nessicary programs only on it (less than 30 gigs). I use norton ghost to make an Image (1 file that contains the entire c: drive), on my D: drive. It takes up about 7gigs.
I use a usb external hard drive for the music files, or you could use the internal D: drive for this, as you have plenty of room.
When you reimage the hard drive from the file on the D: drive, it rebuilds the C: drive to the way it was when you made the image. No reloading software, windows ect.
This is the Best way I have found to do it. Ghost will also copy one hard drive to another, But that is a waste of space as far as I am concerned.
