[QUOTE="iggibar, post: 1244264, member: 97843"] I haven't found another program that will do the backup, but I just copy everything that's important onto another hdd. I honestly like it this way a little more. I can split the files into whatever categorization I want. Only problem is that it's a bit more time consuming. I don't do copies of programs that I already have disks, come from the App store, or can be downloaded online. Realistically, the only thing I care about backing up are documents, music, and pictures/videos. The rest are can be resurrected back via the web. As for the hdd location, most hdd's have built-in shock sensors to lock the arm, so it really doesn't matter where you put it. The only thing that would make me keep the hdd in the regular location is that it heats up more than the ssd. I don't want it to vibrate, or have some heat problem next to the board. [/QUOTE]
