Backing up Hard Drive
Another option for backing up the hard drive is to buy a second hard drive. Hard drive prices have dropped enough to make this option affordable. The new hard drive does not have to be installed permanently. It can be laid outside of the computer case as long as the cables can be plugged in. The new SATA cables make this easy. There are also USB external hard drives for those who do not want to take the cover off from their computer. For those builders intending to register as amateur built, backing up pictures is essential. The second hard drive can be stored in a remote location, such as a hangar, so that a fire or tornado will not destroy both hard drives at once. Some extra cautious people even have two backup hard drives.
