Computer guys. Help me back up my hardwork.
Hey guys.

I have 3 hard drives.

500gig
1tb
1tb

First drive is OS and VST engines.
Second drive is Sample Libraries
Third drive is audio and cubase .cpr files.

I want 1 3tb external HD to back all of this up. Has to be USB. I'd prefer to keep it attached at all times, and let it back up every night on its own. I'd also like something, that in case my computer goes poo poo, I could somehow just load everything back the way it was. Meaning. I'd really like it if it could somehow know where to put everything back automatically. Meaning VST engines on first drive, libraries on second, etc. Anything like that exist?

Does this exist?

Can u guys help me out? I'm dumb with this stuff. Just really want something that's as idiot proof as possible and RELIABLE!

I'll take a stab at it, if for no other reason than it may attract someone who knows what they are doing to save you from me.

Not sure about all three drives, but there is software like Paragon that let's you make an iso copy of your drive that you can reload if you go FUBAR.

Also don't know about Cubase, but Sonar will let me tell it to auto-save every X seconds/minutes, and where to save to. So, if I had any sense, I could send the auto save to the backup drive. Hm, maybe I oughta think about that...

Hope that helps, man.
