Depends on what program (if any) your using mate...
What are you trying to 'backup' as it where? Pics, vids, music etc?

All depends sadly on how you do it mate...
If your 'ghosting' a hard drive, then providing the hard drives are the same size then its a case of the program just copying everything as it is over to the other drive. Only thing you must watch out for is when the old drive gets used to backup with and not the new one :wink:
Or there's the easier way of just having another drive and copying everything onto it that way. Things that you want to keep, like pictures, videos, music or whatever else you want to keep. Its the easiest way and the quickest and cheapest too :smile:
If you'd like to sort it out mate, just gimme a PM or just post on the forum here, what you want saved and I can talk you through it bit by bit :smile:

No problem :smile:
Just try to buy (if you've not already) the biggest possible for the money. If you need to work out how cheap hard drives are (external or internal) just use this simple calculation:
How much it is / Size of hard drive (Gigabytes) = price per GB for example,
£40 / 200Gb = £0.20 per Gb :smile:
Hope that helps :smile:
