#173342 - My Method...
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Hi Chico Magalhães,

I prefer it this way....

1. System Drive should be large enough Atleast 15GB.
2. SourceCodes, schematics, etc. Take daily backups on Pendrive, Weekly/Monthly backup on CD/DVD.
3. Reference material such as PDF, schematics, technical downloaded files from internet. Backup this drive on DVDs once a month.
4. Softwares. Copy of original CDs in this drive. such as Windoz, Orcad, Eagle, SDCC, Keil, MPLAB, AVRStudio, etc. Keep only the ones that you use. And top of it all, take a backup of this whole drive whenever necessary.
5. Fun stuff (to relax your nerves) such as MP3, AVI, MOV, MPG, etc.....
6. Scratch Disk.

The advantage:
If Windows gets corrupt, you can go ahead and format the C drive without thinking twice about data.

And remember, your PCs hard disk is a live Bomb, it can burst anytime. Treat it like this, take regular backups. This will reduce the headache when ever your PC fails.
