Hello fellow TXGenWebers I have been looking for a good backup solution for my hard drive. Heaven forbid I should lose all my county info & TXGenWeb info in a HD crash. Today I was given a few good options for this problem and I thought I would share with you. Of course, free is my kind of idea for any solution.......... #1 - FileFort Backup Software <http://nchsoftware.com/backup/index.html> (free) - comes highly recommended as being user friendly. It will backup your critical data to virtually any type of storage media including CD, DVD, Blu-ray and remote FTP servers.

It keeps an up-to-date copy of everything on your Mac --- digital photos, music, movies, TV shows, and documents. Then there are some good online backup offers that are free. One of the most well known online backup services that still offers free accounts is Mozy's Free Backup Service <http://mozy.com/> - offers you 2 GB of storage space. Compatible with Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Vista, as well as Mac OS X 10.4 and higher. Another free online backup service is iDrive <http://www.idrive.com/>. - offers you 2 GB of storage space.

I was backing up my computer on DVD's.... but I bought a Maxtor external hard drive and now I have it set to backup my whole computer once a week. I know that involves a purchase, but it is minor compared to the computer and I'm not giving anyone access to my computer by subscribing to a online service or leaving it to memory to do the DVD's.

Thanks Billie...I would rather use an external also but wasn't sure what to look for.
