[QUOTE="Steam Hammer, post: 1815519, member: 401827"] Ok, I am not great at this, but when I started, external memory was limited. So, I would buy an external memory block, and use it as a computer back up. For files & photos etc, I would buy other memory drives. Now, with new computers, and larger drives, I have , say a 1 TB drive, but the whole computer back up, is only 999 GB. Leaving a lot of empty space. Currently I have 2 x 1 TB drives and 1 x 750 GB drive , each one, only , as a backup, to one of my 3 computers. Can I use the free space available, for file & photo storage , or will that mess up, the back up ? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in Advance [/QUOTE]
