Also, another freebie would be xrsync from SourceForge. I currently use the later after using the former for almost a year without any issues.

You will never be caught unprepared again. I lost one folder, once, and now I'm crazed about backups. <br /> <br />I have a dual firewire enclosure with 2 80GB drives. I use ChronoSync http://www.econtechnologies.com to automatically backup my work files every 30 minutes during the day to one of the drives. That way, I know I'll never lose more than the last 1/2 hour of work. It works in the background and has never given me a problem. <br />I also use Chronosync to backup music, pictures, documents, etc. but only once a day. <br /> <br />For the other drive, I use Carbon Copy Cloner http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html to make a bootable mirror of the entire startup drive. I do that about once a month, manually cleaning out the old backup and recreating the new one. <br /> <br />I also burn old files to CD or DVD twice before taking them off my drive. <br /> <br />Glad you managed to get everything up and running even if it was a bit expensive. <br /> Hi Steph…Keep in mind, what you went through is something that will only happen ONCE.
