Hello, I just recently messed up and lost some information on my computer so know I plan on backing up all important information. What is the best way of going about this? I probably have about 60 gigabytes of music etc. that I would need to backup. I will probably have to do this 2 times a month so I would like a fast method of doing this. What would you guys suggest I do? Thank you for the help.

Something like this http://www.macmall.com/macmall/shop/detail.asp?dpno=262037&Redir=1 It has a good amount of space and seems to be well priced
Inorder to backup do you think it best to just go to system tools then backup and then select what I want to backup in that utility and then create a scheduled task for that. If it is possible. If it backups the files and folders to the same place everytime does it delete its previous files and folders that it backed up. I think you see what I mean because I will run out of space in that removable drive after some time and I knowing me I will forget to delete the previous backup. Thanks.

--You could probably find a cheaper external that what was suggested. CompUSA, Newegg, and Best Buy run great deals on them. Another option is to buy your own enclosure and internal drive and make up your own external
-All of my computers have a primary drive, which has the operating system on it. Then I have an internal slave drive setup for backup and storage. Then I also have a couple Externals, which I use to back up the internal back ups.
I think it helps out a lot having a totally independent back up drive to save file on to. Then you're not messing with the OS drive and putting strain on it. Especially if you have 60 some gigs of music.
