I am running Vista Home Premium.
I have just purchased two external hard drives,
One I have loaded all my valuable video footages and pictures. The other I used for the Windows Backup Status & Configuration program.
I have noticed that this second backup also included all my videos and pictures.
I thought that the backup was the Computer Operating System, in case anything crashes. (Similar to the "Restore Point" when loading new updates etc).
Is this correct or am I duplicating the first external drive of video etc and don't need to do it ???
If I am wrong, can I or is it necessary to make a backup somehow of my operating system setup in case of computer crash etc ??
I hope I have explained my question correctly.
Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.
