I have ~56GB of data on the home PC. Some of it is important, so I've been backing up folders using Microsoft's SyncToy. Now I'm wondering if I should have a mirror backup (an exact copy of my hard drive) instead of doing file by file, or maybe I should do both? My backup external drive is 160GB, and I've got another 250GB I'm not using. A mirrored drive is nice since you can just plug it in and you're back in business, at least up to the point of the last backup. With file by file you have more work to rebuild. If you guys are doing mirrored backups, what software are you using? Thanks!
