It has been more than 10 years since I assembled my desktop as Windows XP. Operating system is now Windows 7 Pro. Hardware is a single, 256GB SSD for C, which has only programs and e-mail. A pair of drives are in RAID 1 for data. That is logically divided to D and E drives. The E drive was used for work, but it is now empty.
I just got a Samsung 860 Pro 256GB (MLC) drive to backup the C drive. Windows 7 does have a backup function, but I have not used it and am not sure how it works. What I would like to have is a backup drive that can operate on its own, should the original SSD die.
Is Windows backup the way to go, or are there better ways to do that?
