I'm assuming we're talking about windows, right?
You shouldn't need additional software. Just plug in the new external hard drive (it should show up as another drive letter) and copy things to it.
Is there something more special then that you want to accomplish?

Hi Yes it is windows xp
I want to back up 150 gig which takes a long everytime doing it the way you suggest.
I believe there is software that backs up only files that have been added or changed.

Use a .bat file with a XCOPY command. There are plenty of tutorials on the net for this.

I use SyncBack SE regularly - it can back up, synchronise, and more, and you can set it to run on a schedule if you like. The free SyncBack is also very good, if funds are tight.

Gad, last backup software I used was Fastback (that was the dark, DOS days...;)
Probably do a full backup at first, but then you could do incremental (only backup files that have changed since a given date), which would be a bit smaller.
Always a good idea to save your work.

Robocopy (part of the Windows Resource Kit toolbox, search for rktools on Google). It's sort of an Xcopy on steroids.

My external HD has its own backup software (both complete and incremental). It's possible yours may have too. My ext HD is a Freecom 150GB.

And another suggestion...Acronis True Image.
Hasn't failed me yet.

Acronis True Image is excellent; simple to use too; safed me from disaster many times. Gerald
