slowday444 Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 In view of an impending Christmas gift from one of my children, a Maxtor OneTouch III External HD, I just did their flash tutorial. From what I can ascertain, I would not need any backup software programs like Acronis or Norton feature, just the software the OneTouch comes with. Is this correct? Also, it appears as though, besides backing up files, I can create system restore points, the thing I would most value. Comments please! Thank You! http://maxtor.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/maxtor....amp;p_topview=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldmannen Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Maxtor doesn't ring well in my ears. I would buy a Seagate or Samsung disk, SATA-2 with 16 mb cache and do backups the good old fashioned way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenn Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 I've used a Maxtor OneTouch for backup for a couple of years. It came with Retrospect Express HD which is a "light" version of EMC2 Retrospect. It backs up both system (similar to Windows Restore) and data files and lets you selectively restore exactly what you want. I didn't view the tutorial but I assume the current software is at least as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds cool actually for people that don't like to do backups themselves, or don't know what to backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
