Using Norton Ghost 9 To Clone My C:\ Drive

Do I have to go back and forth switching drives eveytime I add new songs and want to do a backup?

I was under the impression that if my hard drive failed all I had to do was restart my computer and the second drive would take over. I don't mind disconnecting a drive and leaving it in the computer for backup but this method will require me to open the computer which I though I could avoid.

After running shows with this computer for over four years now I feel it's time to get a tested, working backup system in place since hard drives do not last forever. I would appreciate it if somebody who uses Migrate Easy would explain the process they use.

Thanks

from what i read if something happens to you pc you can use the cd and boot up from there, jim on acronis true image they have a step by step on how to restore/create a back-up system for your comp, i have never tried it , since all i do was cloned my drive ,but i clicked on a few steps and kinda easy enough to follow..if i can understand it you wont have a problem doing it.. buy the box version and all the things that you wanted to do is in there, you wont regret it, its like having a sec. blanket you dont have to worry about crashing..
