If you did it manually you would have to re-backup EVERYTHING every time which depending on how much data you have to backup, could take hours. Something that indexes your files (like time machine) for Windows is what we need. Incremental backups should somehow be done by software in my opinion, like Time Machine.

The hardware: Two cheap and identical 500 GB external USB hard drives from <a href="href=" rel="nofollow">TrekStor</a>. € 99,- / USD 135,- each. The software: <a href="http://www.techsoftpl.com/backup/index.php" rel="nofollow">MirrorFolder</a> for Windows XP from <a href="http://www.techsoftpl.com/" rel="nofollow">TechSoft</a>. € 28,5 / USD 39,- per computer license. (If anyone knows of a better software solution for mirroring and for other platforms, please share!) Important files and folders on my workstation and laptop are set to be automatically mirrored on both of the external disks. Music, settings, etc are all mirrored on both of the disks for redundancy. Further more, I can take one of the disks with me on the move without worrying about data loss. Works for me ™ ! :) What I do to back up and mirror the important stuff is this.
