How do I create a back-up disk for my computer?

Question

I want to have a back-up of all my work on my computer in the horrible instance that my computer goes down, how do I create and save a back-up disk?

Answer 1

You will need another harddisk drive of the same size install it format it then back up your hard drive,,, but the best thing is just back up the files you need

if you have a cd-rw then thats a good way format the cd so that it can be used over again and copy the files you want..

you will not get all of your hard drive data onto a cd, but you can back up to a volume of 10/15 cd's

Answer 2

You can just create a full image of your important data using True Image by Acronis and then just update an archive using incremental backup feature. True Image is very comprehensive backup tool which can backup files/folders/disks/partitions to every location available including both CDs and DVDs.

You could just go down the simple route of copying everyhing onto a CD/DVD or you could buy a backup package.

Other than that you could use the windows Backup utility and burn that to CD/DVD.
