Computer Back-Ups -- What Do You Use and How Often?

[robinb]

Both my husband and I are computer professionals and I am ashamed to say that I do not do back-ups as frequently as I should. In fact, I leave it to my DH which turns out to be a big mistake. I accidentally overwrote a JPEG file and now my beautiful photo has been stripped of 70% of the resolution. It was a combination of operator error (me) and a stoopid photo editing program which insisted on saving the file after each little change. I asked my DH to do back-ups when we came back from WDW in January and he told me he would do at least the photos. Was it done? NOOOOOOOOOO!

So ... I will take responsibility for my own back-ups like a Big Girl and not rely on my unreliable husband to get around to it.

What program do you use to do back-ups? Do you back-up to CDs, or another disk? Lastly, how often do you do back-ups? I have Windows XP Pro.

Thanks!

DBF is the tech guy, but I think we use what I call the "satan drive". I think it is actually called SATN? Could be wrong though. We also have 2 extra computers that we use mostly for back-up/ storage.
