    I know a lot of you guys use raid zero for performance (not redundancy). So what do you guys all use for back up? (Hardware and software)

    Thanks

    RAID1 is for redundancy. RAID0 has none.

    I use the imaging tool built into Windows 7. It has never done me wrong. It is nice because it doesn't make an image of the whole partition, just what was actually used on the partition. I use a large capacity external drive to back up my photos, music, movies, and videos. If it cannot be replaced, I would suggest maybe backing it up in a couple of places.

    I use Achronis True Image. I like having a full and complete backup image. I have a 1TB HDD and I image back up that. Image back up my OS/Apps SSD and my gaming SSD. Thinking about creating an image if my image drive :p

    Second for True Image. Brilliant program, compresses images well enough, and has cloning features that have made my life much easier. All of my important, doubled backups are Achronis images.
