Hello All!

I was wondering if any of you are in the same pickle that I am...or better-yet, have overcome this pickle. I have a smaller hard drive that I record my audio on, but it is getting full, its only like 270 gigs. So a while back I bought a pair of 1.5 TB backup drives thinking I could have it automated so I wouldnt have to do anything other than leave my computer and drives on and with the software that came with it would back up my stuff. The software that I have tried to use will do something of that nature, but it puts everything into 1 large file and backs it up. thats not at all what i want. I want to fall back on a drive if my main workhorse ever becomes a dead steed.

Does anyone know of any backup software that will copy over my latest mixes (or any files for that matter) 'while im sleeping' yet still be in a recognizable format the next day without having to running a tool to decompress? I have plenty of space on these hard disks so I would like to use them as back ups and sadly, they have recently become dust collectors since i dont have the time to sit there and make sure everything is copied ok.

My second question, does any software, or do all most back up software programs back up onto multiple drives? As I mentioned, i bought 2 hard drives at 1.5 TB each. If there was a way it would run at say midnight every night and sync with both drives, i would definitely pay good money for a program like that, im not expecting the world for free, I just want to have my stuff backed up and the time and organization that it takes to manually is not even mentionable.

Thanks!
