Backing up consists mainly of saving things that you would not wish to lose, cannot replace or would be time consuming replacing. Therefore only you can decide to what extent you wish to go to in backing up. If it is important to you to be able to restore your Windows settings should you lose them it would be wise to back them up. Likewise with program settings, eg ICQ, etc. Programs that have been downloaded should be included with your data backups. It is up to you to decide how much time you wish to spend backing up "just in case" versus reinstalling your settings if that became necessary. > I would prefer to keep everything there, but I am > trying to do a full backup, just in case somthing > dies. The easiest way to do this would be to buy a drive image program such as Ghost and backup your entire partition to CDs. Nero will also create a backup of your partition but it will not compress the image and therefore will need many more CDs than Ghost which does compress images. |

| 220511 | 2004-03-10 06:42:00 | I believe the keyword there is "buy" I am trying not to spend money on this little excercise. I am backing up to a hard drive across the network, and have plenty of room. But I just dont want it all my stuff going away. I dont mind if I have to use the backup, but I would like to avoid it, therefore, partition without data loss. Also, I want everything now, to be on the second partition. I think one of my mates is going to let me borrow partition magic 8. I think it is an OEM, so I hope i am not disadvataged by that. |

| 220513 | 2004-03-10 10:50:00 | Cripes there is no decent, cheap, legal solution except from getting that mag. I don't know about anyone else but when it comes to partitioning with my data at stake I don't want a command line interface. *shudders*. Partition Magic is the leading solution, wouldn't trust anything else atpit. |

| 220514 | 2004-03-12 22:20:00 | Right, I just had a look at knoppix. I opened up a command interface thing, and typed in qtparted. It said that it could not find any drives, most likely because I wasnt logged on as root. So I went, su - and it went to root, then i did qtparted again. This time it said, "cannot find x interface", or maybe "cannot find x server", or something like that. |
