Backing Up

Hi, My computer has been doing funny things for a while like its gonna die soon.. well thats not the point of this thread. I realize that i need to bac up my whole computer fast but, i no longer have a CD burner so how should I go about backing up everything?

How much data do you have to back up?

Can you get another Hard drive? Borrow a DVD burner?
Are you on a network?

well I have a few things to back up... most i can just reinstall.. it would be annoying but i can do it but mostly im worried about my music i want to save all of that! at my apartment im on a network with my 2 roomates. and I might be able to borrow a cd/dvd burner not sure yet...

See if you can send them to one of your room mates computers then copy them back over when you are ready.

The easiest way is to do it over a network connection...if its not 95\98 :rolleyes: they just dont network right...reboot, reboot, reboot

Or remove the hardrive and slave it into another machine and pull the data that way

So i send all the data I want to back up to my roomates pc's over the network? then if it crashes i just copy it back?

Exactly or buy a cheap box you can all use as a server. You can all backup your files to it then!

ok, thanx to all of u! :)

Here's what you can do. Create a new zip folder on your desktop and start dropping data you want to keep in it. Don't go over a gig per new zip folder. Then go to www.yousendit.com and use their storage for a while. Or compose a bunch of files through a free email service. That way you can store data for free until you get back on your feet.

And may I suggest the LG GSA-4163B for a new burner?
