I've just purchased a second Maxtor 250 gig Hard Drive in a removable case and drawer and I'm about to use Acronis True Image 8.0 to back up my system.
I'll have some questions on this since this is the first time I've used Acronis. Any ideas or suggestions outside my own questions will be greatly appreciated.
1. Will I be able to still use my second (G) Drive after I've fully backed up a complete image of my (C) Drive (a 200 gig Hard Drive), for additional storage of data? Will the G drive have to be partitioned to allow it to be given this dual use as backup and additional storage space for data?
2.Or will the G drive have to be removed once I've backed up my C drive onto it to keep the two identical systems from competing with one another and crashing my computer?
Yes, I'm a terrible noob at this.
Like I said, any info or suggestions/tutorials on this will be greatly appreciated .
