So I'm sitting on a volcano having had my laptop for a year or two but having no backup of it whatsoever. I figure it's about time to ensure I don't spend a long time crying.
What would you recommend for an external backup?
I've seen the Western Digital MyBook available in 500Gb for 60 quid. Looks alright, but it's only USB 2. My Dad picked up a 320 Gb with firewire for 80 quid a while ago.
I've also heard I'd need to reformat it from FAT to NTFS.
Is there anything I should definitely go for or that I'll need, and anything I should avoid like the plague?
500Gb would be more than enough.
Cheers!
