i could do the same right back, but i won't, since i don't stoop to those levels.

But, with the availability of relatively inexpensive multi-terrabyte external drives, getting all your files on one drive is not difficult. With all your files on one drive, you can back up all files at one time. Backing up the drives is the most protective action you can take.

backing up more than one drive can also be done at one time.

you must be doing it the hard way, manually, which does not surprise me in the least.

I know you can set a back-up protocol to back up multiple drives, but the one-drive system works for most people.

what you don't know is that backups can be automated and the number of drives makes no difference. the computer doesn't care if it's one or 15 drives.

i just added another drive to the mix yesterday and it already has 300 gig of stuff that had previously been scattered among several other drives.
