Hi

Oh, ya!  That takes me back too!

But now-a-days I like this utility for backups and synchronisation, on the
Windows platform.

Exactly Roger.  So now we need 2 external drives, giving you 3 drives in 
total.  But interestingly, how do you manage these?  In the good old DOS 
days, I could, at the dos prompt type something like this: xcopy c:\my 
documents /s/date=..  where everything before or from a particular date was 
copied to another directory.  Must say, I miss some of these old dos 
commands.

Andy.

So where is your back-up in case something goes pear-shaped?

      Hi, I have one of these drives, and I agree, they are very good. I 
keep everything on mine, in fact the only thing on my internal drive now is 
installed programs, everything else is on the external one.

  Hi All

  Following Andy Logue's recent posts about a Maxter external hard drive he 
bought, we decided to go to our nearest branch of Maplin in Edinburgh today.

We have been looking to increase the size on the drives we already have, and

since it has been an absolutely gorgeous day, thought we would take a trip 
out.

  We have indeed bought the Maxter 750GB, though they sold it to us at 
£109.99, but I didn't argue over the few pounds more than Andy paid at his 
Glasgow store.

  Ian is currently copying our music collection over to the new drive, and 
it seems quite nifty.  The only slightly annoying aspect of buying larger 
drives is that you lose a lot of space due to the formatting.  For example, 
on this drive, the free space available is 698.whatever on a total of 750GB.

That's just about 50GB lost.  I've noticed the larger the drives, the more 
formatting space is used.

  Anyhow, this certainly appears to be a good buy if anyone is thinking of 
upgrading.  Thanks Andy very much for bringing that to our attention.

  Jackie
