How do i backup my pc onto another hd?

[Jude3085]

Hello,
I have redone my computer 3 times sofar. So I want to mirror my pc onto another hd incase my pc decides to crash. So I have a backup until i fix it. I have a 120bg wd and want to buy a 40gb. With the 40gb i want to mirror my 120gb. Is there a program that will mirror my computer onto another hd. My 120gb has about 15gb used so i thought i would just buy a 40gb. I know you could back your pc up on cd's but i would rather just buy another hd. Anyone know of a program that will do this for me? I would like to update the 40gb hd evey month or so since i will be putting more files on my 120bg hd.

Thanx for your time.

THE best instrument for that task for me is Norton Ghost.

Also if you want the clone to be scheduled and automatic i think the Windows version (2003 only) allows this, but i'm not totally sure.

I agree with koko. Norton Ghost works great. I've used it for a little over a year now and you can clone one hard drive to another with no problem. I put 2 hard drives in my system last year for the sole purpose of making backups. I regularly clone my drive every week. On my system Ghost copies at a rate of about 800 MB's a minute.
