I'm thinking about buying a external hard drive, I have used a friend's
external Seagate hard drive and had one button backup, by pushing one
button. My question is are you forced to use the proprietary backup
software that comes installed on hard drive? Can you drag and drop files
from computer internal hard drive from a Seagate external hard drive? What
brand of external hard drives are recommended?

TIA,
J.S.


Got a 160GB ext WD USB and dumped the software it came with. Did not like it
.. I do what I want and back up what and how I want.

As Tom says its just like anyother hard drive and you can work on it through
explorer like you do now, or with whatever backup software you prefer. Drag
and drop all you want :-)

I have all my music and pictures backed up, along with other business stuff
using the respective software, like money etc etc..
