Lost everything?

If so bad luck man, i recomend just getting an external hard disk and storing it in your cupboard for most of the year. Very cheap!

My important stuff barely takes up 15GB, so there isn't that much to back up. But usually at least once every two months, maybe earlier
when I do complete maintenance.

Just backed up about 300gb to external HDD (500gb Buffalo 2.5inch thing)

Man that took a while! I do it every 2 months (or when i'm home from Uni) Therefore I do keep offsite backup lol

Offsite backup is probably the smartest way to back up because when disaster strikes and you have the computer and the backups in one place you'll lose everything.

Yep, always good. My parents back up like every week or 2. Everything (except photos which are backed up periodically as they are on 3 computers anyway) fits on 1 CD-RW 650mb
They were the days when all had small amount of files.
Stupidly they keep the backup copy in the cupboard Next to the computer

Hang on, that is a a Pentium III machine usually having an 800mhz chip(s) in it. Isn't it!?

I'm sorry but it isn't the first precision model. I own a Dell Precision model 400.
It is a dual Pentium II with a limit of 66mhz FSB, currently has two 333 Mhz cpu's in it with 256 mb of EDO RAM in it.
Scsi HD's and a PCI Radion 7000 video card. It was a nice poiece of kit but why oh why didn't they use a chipset available at the time (1997) that used AGP!? It was such a graphics orientated workhorse!? Why no AGP!?
I payed 120 Euros in 2006 for the old girl
