If i am getting this right Wily_one, you suggest to back up data then reinstall all programs correcT? What if the customer does not have the CD for the program anymore, how would i go about dealing with that, tough luck?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-The-most-effective-way-to-back-up-computer-dat-12784753 Sun, 27 Feb 2005 15:33:11 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-The-most-effective-way-to-back-up-computer-dat-12784717
Now, if you're talking about "backing up" application installations, that's a whole nother story. What I do is back up the data, and reinstall the application. There are programs that purportedly do what you're talking about, but I've never tried them.

What OS are you moving from? The XP Registry is very different than the 98 Registry, for example.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-The-most-effective-way-to-back-up-computer-dat-12784717 Sun, 27 Feb 2005 15:29:46 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-The-most-effective-way-to-back-up-computer-dat-12784670 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-The-most-effective-way-to-back-up-computer-dat-12784670 Sun, 27 Feb 2005 15:22:46 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-The-most-effective-way-to-back-up-computer-dat-12784669
This is for transferring files onto a fresh clean install of Xp btw.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-The-most-effective-way-to-back-up-computer-dat-12784669 Sun, 27 Feb 2005 15:22:44 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-The-most-effective-way-to-back-up-computer-data-12784655
Tape drives with sufficient capacity to back up modern drive sizes are prohibitively expensive. Backing up to CD and even DVD would be slow and tedious, since they just don't have very much capacity and would require many, many discs.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-The-most-effective-way-to-back-up-computer-data-12784655 Sun, 27 Feb 2005 15:20:04 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/The-most-effective-way-to-back-up-computer-data-12784603 I am looking for a method of transferring and programs to use. I currently have Acronis True image to ghost the hard drive. But what about transferring methods. Set up a network and transfer, or have a slave hard drive in to transfer then remove the hard drive and put it back after format is complete to load files? What are you suggestions?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/The-most-effective-way-to-back-up-computer-data-12784603 Sun, 27 Feb 2005 15:13:42 EDT
