Saving same doc etc in 2 locations at once
Guys i back my pc up every month, but it takes ages, is there a way of saving a doc to 2 locations at once, ie if i save a picture to my c drive is
there away it can be saved to my external hard drive at the same time?
hope this makes sense.
UNDERSTEER is when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
OVERSTEER is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
HORSEPOWER is how fast you hit the wall.
TORQUE is how far you take the wall with you.

i use an online sync application called drop box. When the file is updated on my PC, it update sthe online version, it also means you can use more
than one PC to access the files, but also have the file stored on every hard drive of all the computers you use.

No easy way of doing it also if you get a virus or malware it will infect both sets of data.
You don't need to back up every document every time you back up just use software that will do an incremental back up (ie only changed files are
backed up) with a full back every few months.
Cobian backup will do this for you and it is 100% free and very reliable.

Either get a free software to backup your files to your USB disk OR have a cheap network RAID (2 discs for mirror) and the proper software doing
backups every time you connect to your home network / scheduled / on demand for the proper thing (Actually, disks should be away from your home as in
case of a fire / flood / ... both laptop and disks array could be destroyed) or, more easely, ....
For the later, something like a ReadyNas Duo does the trick and is quite inexpensive.

A Raid Mirror pair is only protection against hardware failure, it won't protect against getting your files destroyed by malware or a hacker.

Thanks guys for the advice, used the above, worked a treat and it'll only back up new files not the whole thing each time,
again thanks

Well, here's the joy of Unix (whatever flavour), you can do so much. It means not handing Microsoft vast amounts of money and using something
that you build yourself from Share/Freeware, free! Hey, it's a Locost!
Here's a script that does exactly what you need, which I wrote for automatically moving multiple copies of datafiles around, anywhere.
Get yourself a Red Hat...!
