and put it on my external harddrive all in one swap?

You guys are too fucking slow today

You know what I mean chris?

I am sure that tor knows some program for that type of backup.

Myself, i would probably just do it copy/pastey. I have something like 600GB on this laptop though, it would take a fucking decent stretch of time, no matter how i did it.

In any case, i generally like to copy rather than move though. With really large quantities being moved around, data seems to be much more likely to get corrupted than just doing small transfer shit. Especially if you have any really big single files, like DVD ISOs or whatnot.

P.S. How are you bored? What happened to your chicken picken vid?

YA.

Actually, my town is in the process of getting blizzarded the fuck up at the moment. I am soon to be pretty far from bored, as i will probably be shoveling snow for the next week or so solid.

I guess I can just copy paste the important stuff.

I am bored. Just waiting for my buddy to get here to lay some vocals down, then off to play Bball.

Ill upload the chicken pickin video tonight.

Take a pic of the blizzard, then consider moving to cali. Its so nice out that we were able to go surfin 2 days ago.

Too dark now, but if we get as much snow as they say we are going to, i will take a picture tomorrow.

Shoveling i don't mind so much, but fucking christ, keeping enough heating oil in the tank to keep the house warm(like, so the pipes don't fucking freeze), suuuuucks.

well you can take an image of teh drive using ghost or acronis then it will copy everything. I use those when I'm going to be doing somethi9ng major to a computer so I can either image it back or pull files from the image if I need them.


also, blizzard like a motherfucker here too...

My older sister in NYC was getting crazy thunder snow earlier. Did you get any of that where you are at? She said it was crazy: proper lightning, thunder, and through it all, really heavy snowfall.

I didn't hear or see any of that, but twas crazy blizzardry here. I have seen snow lighting once. Was fucking awesome. I am off work this week, using vacation time to spend it working on musics and playing with my kids. Don't you know they closed my work today, so I miss the free day off.

Tor, all I did was drag "local disc C " to my hard drive. That should do it , right?

IIRC, there is a brand of external hdd with a button that will backup your whole hdd on it.

Maxtor OneTouch if memory serves, if they are still in production.

This is working, although its going to take for fucking ever. Its at 2.53 gigs copied, when I have 214 on my comps HD

I think there is some way you can take an entire image "snapshot" of your whole system, makes it an iso file. I have no idea how though.

99 thousand items / 119 GB later and it says it has 10 more minutes.

ANd it is done. 214 thousand items later.

Todge that's what ghost or acronis will do, yeah mike you should be good, it won't copy files in use,. but you are more worried about data files which would not be in use anyway

No, I just want to copy the important stuff, like reaper files, documents, pics, mp3 files , etc... Because Im taking my comp into the shop, with the possibility of getting a new comp as well.
