Hi Carl,
I just found this email while sorting through my multiple copies of emails I
get so I wanted to thank you for your advice.  I'll need help with doing
something like that for back up till I can find a way to get computer
classes, or help from someone who can teach me.  I still don't have most of
my old addresses, and won't ever have a anyone try to do what Chris was
going to do to salvage what's on the drive.

Better late than never,

Mary

Well, up until now, I use the incredibly dumb and brute force method
of occasionally copying my entire "active" music library from one
hard drive to the the backup drive.  I attach the backup drive, copy
the music library to it (replacing the old version of the backup),
and then I disconnect the backup drive until the next time I do a
backup.

I need to buy some larger drives (which is gonna have to wait until
at least I get through the next round of house payments, if not until
I'm next in the States), and I plan to buy some decent backup
software (which will compare my "active" and "backup" copies of the
music library, and then only copy across the bits that have changed
in the "active" library to the "backup" library -- which should be
quicker and more efficient.

There are many backup packages available, but as I have a Mac, I
can't really say that much about the relative merits of backup
software for Windows.

Cheers,
Carl
