I have a desktop running windows XP. I have 2 hard drives, one is the
master and the other is jumpered as the slave drive.
I want to mirror the master so that the slave is exactly the same. I donâ€™t
care about incremental. I would do the complete write weekly. If my hard
drive crashes I want to be able to change jumpers on the slave to make it the
master, reboot the machine and keep on going.
What software will do this ?
I also have a laptop running Windows Vista(home) that I backup to a external
Maxtor(USB).
If I replaced a crashed laptop drive could I also restore it from the Maxtor
completely, reboot and keep running ?
