i have two hard driver,is there any backup software that exactly copies my daily document to the secontary hd?

Answer 1

I got Norton Ghost with my Dell laptop and it copied exact copies of my files onto the second hard drive daily. Then when the hard drive was full you could choose which backup copies to delete to make room for more. Follow the link in sources to check it out. It's $70 but it does everything you asked. If your computer fails, you don't even need the first hard drive, Norton Ghost will restore everything from the daily restore point.

Answer 2

There's a free tool I use called SystemRescueCD. It's pretty much the ultimate tool as far as cloning an entire drive goes. What it does, is that it will copy an entire partition from one hard drive to another. This is good for cloning your main hard drive, so it were to fail, all you'd have to do is disconnect the original hard drive and either -

For ATA - change the drive from slave to master.

For SATA - connect the SATA cable from the newer hard drive to the SATA port on the motherboard the original hard drive was connected to.

Switching from ATA to SATA or vice versa - make sure BIOS is set to boot from the new drive.

Partition cloning does take a couple of hours, no matter how fast your computer is, so this is something you would want to do when you go to bed at night. Also, the SystemRescueCD works with external USB, Firewire, and eSATA drives as well; external drives are just a regular internal drive in a case with a bridge board, so this is something you might want to get in the future.

What you need to do is go into the settings on the bios, change the computer over to a RAID. You will need the hard drives to both be the same size. You will need them to both be reformatted for this though, so as to have the same data on each.

If each hard drive is 100 GB for instance, you would only have 100 GB of data storage since you are copying everything twice (once on each drive.)

There is also a mode where you can maintain 2 100GB Hard drives (or whatever size) and it stores half the data for a program on 1 HD and the other half on the other. This serves to increase the overall speed. Con to this is if one Hard Drive takes a dump you lose the data from both.

Answer 4

If you are saying you have two PC's or laptops, you could network with a modem so you can simply save a backup on your network. If you only want to copy a back up, buy a writer at Wal Mart for under 40 bucks and stick the writer in your PCU then upload it in the other one.
You don't need a special telephone company set up to do the network, you just need a multi connection modem.

Answer 5

If you want your backup softwares to be copied in the secondary hard drive you have to do the following task:-

First of all make the hard drive which you want to make secondary drive as "Master Drive" by making adjustments by a pin located at the back side of the hard disk.

After that make the other drive as to be the "Slave Drive".

The settings are shown at the back side of every hard drive.

This will surely solve your problem.

Answer 6

Documents only? Cut & Paste.

Everything on the C: drive? Try the free Drive Image XML.

Google for it.

TIP: The Slave drive must be = or larger than the Master.

Answer 8

Is it Windows?

Windows offers a feature called Briefcase, it's a simple program. It automatically track down the updates you made to your files when you put a copy inside a "Briefcase folder"

In Xp, you just simply open the drive you want to make a Briefcase folder, right click on an empty area then choose New and click on Briefcase and its ready to use. =)


there are links below to tell you how to make a "Briefcase folder"
