Backup Options

madmoe

Hi all,
I have a 1TB drive with my whole collection of HD movies connected up to my Media player. All is well so far. But.....what if something happens to the 1TB drive???

I'm wondering what would be my best backup option for this drive? Could anyone recommend software that could help? Perhaps make an image of this HDD and compress it to be saved off somewhere else? Or would the best option be to have another 1TB drive and use some sort of software to image\mirror my drive with the content on it.

What are most people on here using?

Cheers,
M
