    (I use SyncBack to backup)

    Me too, damn fine product for free. 2 drives mirrored every 24 hrs and one I keep in a draw at work which I sync periodically. So far, so good.

    After a while they all bug me :doh:

    :-) I liked it so much I upgraded to the paid version for the extra functionality, which was pretty cheap anyway.

      You mean no way to recover?

      There may be programs that can recover files that were in locations of hte drive merely marked as 'empty' but not actively overwritten. I can't name any though.

          Ever since I had a laptop stop working because it was overheating and I lost a lot of work I keep multiple back ups. Usually on a flash drive, CD/DVD, external hard drive, computer and on my laptop. Seems to be the case that once someone looses something they realise the importance of backing up.

            If you've overwritten the data with ghost, there isn't a lot you can do. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_recovery#Recovering_overwritten_data[^] If you've just deleted the data. Stop using your computer right now! Which ever hard drive had the data that you've lost on it, turn the computer off immediately and disconnect the hard drive! There are possible recovery techniques, but the more the data is messed with the less likely recovery becomes. (Windows is constantly writing to empty blocks on the hard drive, so the longer you leave it running, the higher the chance that you deleted data will be overwritten. testdisk[^] can be used to analyse disks and restore deleted data. Connect the hard drive as a _secondary_ drive on a PC. and use testdisk to analyse it.

                      Yes, backup can only be performed when you have a secondary physical device to copy the information to.

                          I suspect that you no longer have that problem. A second or external hard disc is cheap insurance.

                                  Nope, unless you use something like R-Studio. This might just be a painful lesson about the necessity of doing occasional backups.

                                    Unless the image ghost wrote was 100% full it didn't overwrite your entire disk, and some of your data is potentially still out there (but without a FAT reference for the OS to find) for recovery tools to find.

                                        How much is that, and what does it give you?


                                        I'm largely language agnostic


                                        After a while they all bug me :doh:

                                        You get quite a lot of additional functionality, see the Syncback Comparison[^]. It's only $30 and as I'm from the UK it's currently around £15. regards,

                                          I do this: 1) Backup to separate installed hard drive (Every 3 days) 2) Backup to external hard drive (Every now and then, usually one per week) - I keep this drive with me most of the time as a offsite backup. 3) Backup to a 1Tb removable drive (About once or twice a month) All of this is done automatically using SyncBack. regards,
