How to backup my system

[jools182]

Hi

I have finally managed to get my machine to boot up again

The hard drive seems ok, but I have just bought an external hard drive with plenty of capacity (500gb)

I know a full back up can take a while, but I want everything to be on this external drive, just in case

I am just not sure how to do it. It can't just be a case of drag & drop can it?

You will need something like Acronis True Image, or Powerquest Drive Image, or Norton Ghost. Have a look at those and see which one you like.
