External hardrive

amstel2

Hello

Think its about time i started backing up the stuff on my laptop. As i am totally clueless on this can anyone advise on a easy to use/install external hardrive at a reasonable price.

Alternatively would i be better using dvds/cds, usb etc or one of those cloud things?

Also i do have a lot of video stored in my favourites/bookmarks will this use up a lot of space.

Thanks

The don't need installing, they just plug in.

Favourites use hardly any space, video files kept locally use a lot in comparison.

Any usb hard disk will do, provided it's big enough, there are many threads about them on here if you do a search - look on amazon/scan/ebuyer/hotukdeals for prices. Portable drives (2.5") are easiest, as they don't need external power

you can use macrium reflect free disk imaging to backup a whole system easily
