Well you guys are really on the ball, I do understand the workings of computers and file back up etc, but that is probably as far as it goes.
I just need a simple peace of mind back up, so if the PC goes belly up for any reason it can still have all my filers and programs and everything that makes a PC work.
So I reckon as suggested a simple clone of the hard Drive is what would work for me.
This machine that i use, is pretty much dedicated to Photography with a few Photo programs and all my 140,00 images
, and an occasional look at IIS, so as you can see it just needs to be simple so that i can get back to Photography, as this is what i do.
I appreciate your responses and your suggestions, thank you very much.

PS I do have all these photos and general files backed to an external HD already so if it died they would not be lost.
