Best way to back up my laptop hard drive?

I save all my projects/records LPX on a 2 TB external hard drive.

What is the best and I hope that the best way to save this 3 TB external hard drive on a second hard drive?

Thank you

Jerry

Do you want to be a second backup or you simply want to move to the larger disk? The quickest way would very probably be use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone one to another. If you want it to be different from other data store you on the largest disk (not recommended), then you will need to create a separate partition for backup to disk with greater capacity.

You can also clone volumes using restore in disk utility.

  1. Open utility disk from the Applications\utilitaires folder.
  2. Select the volume target in the list on the left.
  3. Click the restore in the main window of disk utility.
  4. Select again the volume target in the list aside and drag it into the Destination field.
  5. Select the volume of the Source of the list aside and drag it to the Source domain.
  6. Click Restore.

  • best way to back up files

    Hello! Until recently, I've been using my Mac OS X for personal use. Internet and photos about. Now, I have a business and am trying to learn to fully use my laptop in support of my business. I downloaded the El Capitan and were a bit lost because, as I'm learning. I just bought an IPAD PRO and learn how to use this as well. I just downloaded via ITunes a few books that I read and request same "El Capitan for Dummies" library to read.

    What is the best way to back up files? Should I get an external hard drive? If so, which should I expect? Recently, I signed up for the $0.99 per month ICLOUD and thought that it is a return to my files (files containing work etc.) but think that this is not the case after a lot of research?

    Please advise! Thank you!

    For your iPad Pro, you can use iCloud for make backups-> How to back up your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch - Apple Support

    For your Mac, iCloud Drive allows you to store all the files you want on iCloud outside your peripheral storage space, so that you can access your files on all devices. However, you cannot make a backup of your Mac on iCloud (it would take a lot of time and storage), so in this case, you will need to get an external drive. The easiest way is to make backups of your files with Time Machine, included in OS X-> use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac - Apple Support

    Time Machine makes automatic backups of everything on your OS X partition, so you won't have to worry about manual backups. There are also other third party applications and services to make backups too.

  • Laptop hard drive failures

    My laptop hard drive crashed. It is repaired by a new disc with the approved o/s. It doesn't have a D partition now. Is there any use in my command, recovery disks? I already started to restore applications and data.

    Hello

    I see what you mean

    If media recovery is all benefits for you, depends in large part of the operating system that you use and whether you have any other way to reinstall the operating system in case of accident - for example if you are using Windows 7, you can easily create your own installation media and use the key of 25 characters of your coa label to activate it. A complete list of Windows 7 ISO files here.

    If you are under Windows 8, these files are not so easy to find, so you spend your recovery media order may be worth considering.

    In both cases, the only way that partition D (recovery) can be recreated would be to use a set of recovery media (disk or flash drive) to perform a factory reset as it will not only reinstall the OS, but to recreate the original scores, with only your laptop delivered.

  • safe way to transfer music to iMac hard drive on a separate drive?

    Is there a safe way to move my music from hard drive of my iMac to a separate drive?

    Drag the files normally. If you move your iTunes to work, when finished, start iTunes with down option, and then choose this library.

    If you do this to free up space on the drive or to use music on multiple computers, keep a backup of it on a second disc.

  • I need to back up an entire hard drive, XP and all

    I replaced a strong record for my neighbor and found myself in a strange position. I need to back up the entire hard drive, so I can replace it with a larger, but cannot start on this disc (when its in my computer) because of a BSOD. I can start in my regular reader (the one I normally use in my computer) and browse the disk I'm trying to backup with no problems. I tried to use Norton Ghost, but when I try to boot from the new drive, I get an error and cannot continue. That I can use that backs up the entire disk, including Windows XP and all the files and allow me to boot from it?

    4ndyC2D,
    Microsoft didn't offer not any type of disc for XP Imaging tool.  At this point, you will need to use a 3rd party program to accomplish the task.

    Dave, I used CCleaner for many years.

    The way I used it, was to PERFORM the "cleaner" 3 times. Until the last race... happens, with 'o bytes. "

    Then, on the option 'Registry '.

    Yes, with the "register" option, too. "' With NO disaster! And, with the choice of NOT make backup copies, when you are prompted to do so.

    Same process run, too, until it says: "no problem found"!

    Are passed to the Glary Utilities, lately. It's a good program better, to find errors 440... to his 1st round.

    He did trying to mess up my computer? NO!

    It works better, because I DID used the program "Glary Utilities".

    There are 6 'process' to run on the logon page, it is unchecked, check it and you get a thorough 'cleaning '. There are more options available with this program it is with CCleaner, use "at your own risk!

    Who I am still 'in progress' to be, is, the REMOVAL of "Duplicate Files". As I don't want to delete the ITEMS, in this case, it removes EVERYTHING and causes HAVOC with my computer.

    CCleaner does NOT have this option.

    Once I have understand, I well a machine "squeaky-clean".

  • Best way to back up the virtual machine

    What better way to back up a virtual machine with snapshots?

    I have copied the VM directory to a backup folder, but then had problems to restore.  Just right?

    Not sure if it was because of the way the backup that I did.

    Sorry my English!

    It is recommended to create the snapshot with the VM or disable?

    Snapshots can be created with the virtual machine or not. With the virtual machine running, it may take more time to create the snapshot, and you won't 'lose' disk space, due to the State of memory that will be instantaneous.

    When possible, I recommend you take the snapshot with the virtual machine power off.
