After taking photos there's different ways to keep it. You can just leave it on the memory card or you can copy it onto your hard drive. Photo hard drive backup is commonly used by copying all the photos into a portable hard drive. That way if your computers HD or your memory stick got broken you have backup in your portable device.
If it's not already there after the hard drive replacement, then it should be on the backup you made, if you made a backup, if not, swap hard drives, run the backup wizard, reswap hard drives, restore from backup
Online backup means to backup you system data from your hard drive to an online cloud server
A backup tape works by copying information from a computer and storing it. If something happens to a computer or a hard drive, a backup tape still has the information that was also stored on the hard drive of a computer.
No, Not unless it was a "disk image"backup.
It is possible if you have a sufficiently large flash drive that can handle the volume of data to be backed up. It also depends on the the type of backup selected, sector for sector backup or selective data backup.
If you store your backup of your C:\ drive (which is usually where all your files, photos, etc are stored) on another (logical) partition on the same physical drive (C:\) and this is where you store your backup, if the drive should fail you would lose both the original files AND the backup as well. This is because they both reside on the SAME physical drive. Buy an inexpensive thumb drive or external hard drive and store your backups there. This way is the C:\ drive fails, you still have your backup files (on the external or flash (thumb) drive).
A Backup The technical name is cloning.
Backup software is not recommended since if your hard drive fails, your backup fails. It is best to get an external hard drive or to back up your computer in the cloud.
An external drive is the same as an internal drive just not installed inside the case. Meaning you can use it in exactly the same way as an internal drive. A backup drive is usually a zip drive designed to back up you hard drive and isn't used as a hard drive itself. It is usually in the form simalar to a floppy disk that the backup information is copied to. You can then use the backup disk and drive to reinstall all of your information from your original hard drive back to the hard drive in case of a virus or manually removing something that was needed for the system to run.
The key to protecting your data from a hard drive crash is to install and backup software solution and create a backup of your system to an external drive. NovaBACKUP Professional allows you to create an image backup, which in the event of a hard drive failure, will provide you with the ability to restore an entire drive to another computer.
Purchasing an external hard drive would be the best and the most inexpensive way to backup your home data. You can purchase an external hard drive for around $70
Part depends on the TYPE of backup. A "standard" file backup will use far less space, as it only backs up the actual data on the drive. to find out how much data is on your drive, open up "My Computer" and right click on the drive you wish to backup. The information box that appears will show the drive capacity, and the free space. Subtract the free space from the drive capacity to estimate the data size. Another type of backup is called a "drive image". This type will make an exact duplicate of you hard drive onto another drive. for this type of backup, you must have a 80 gig (or larger) backup drive. Steve
