Macrium Reflect can also be used for backups. Didn't see the last post date
Anyway, I suggest making two separate OS partition and data partition backups onto the two ext HDs.

I almost lost 4TB worth of data after my 4TB HDD was damaged by overvoltage. I managed to get it fixed and recovered my data. I want to be careful this time and I decided to get another 4TB HDD and use it as a backup. Can anyone suggest a software/method so that my computer will backup the files I have? I constantly add/change files in my HDD so my goal is to have both 4TB HDD have the same files at all times and is done automatically. Than you. |

Hi You can use file synchronization software like Unison to sync files between your computer hdd and external storage. |

The most transparent and straight forward solution (not the most economically efficient though) would be to enable RAID 1 if your motherboard supports it. Everything is saved identically in 2 drives, if one fails you have the other as if nothing happened. Idealy, there are also no system delays for backing up. |

+1 for Aomei Backupper. For protection against crypto-viruses, I suggest using the Aomei Backupper PE to clone your drive periodically. That way, its contents are not vulnerable to encryption/damage by whatever is running on your system. You might want to also get a WD MyBook and set up WD SmartWare to make continuous backups of your data, then periodically use Aomei PE to clone that drive rather than your system/data drive. For even better protection, get two drives to hold the backups and keep one off-site, alternating between them when you make the next backup. |
