Best solution, get a raid

[the_Watchman]

Raid protects against drive failure, but if you get a virus or have something stupid happen then raid dutifully copies the problem to both copies. Raid does not perform the same function as archiving.

I doubt his problem is with his hard drive physically going bad.

A better suggestion would be to get a good battery backup, assure the write-delay cache is turned off in the hard drive system properties, and making sure anti-virus/anti-spyware software is working. Do these things and make sure the BIOS, drivers, and program updates are all on and such catastrophic crashes will be almost nonexistent.

Now that will work. A perfect mirrored copy of your virus destroyed drive. :)
