Hi -
I followed the advice in this forum and downloaded EaseUS TODO Backup.  No problem.  I then ran it.  No problem.  I found the result in a folder in "C:\My Backups".  My question is this.  If my computer crashes will not the backup be lost?  Shouldn't any backup be on a disk so that it can be STORED away from the computer?     BobYes. Common PRACTICE is to either use and eternal drive or add another drive to your desktop.
If a Laptop, the options are external hard drive or DVD-R.

When creating the backup you can point it to any other HDD/partition...
I burn my disc images once a Month to DVD's...Thanks for the replies.   I'm not too good at this but I will try the disk next time.   BobIt's probably easier to copier to an extern hard drive than to burn stuff onto DVD. Raptor -
Thanks for the advice.  As I said I am not too good but when I get READY next time I'll try something different.  A couple of years ago I tried using Windows backup on a disk.  I never got it to do right and gave up.  Fortunately I have never needed a backup so I haven't missed anything.    Bob Quote
