I have an XP home edition and have installed Windows Live One Care. I quickly learned that the only thing good about the program is being able to backup my files to cd; in which I now have a lot of. Now I know cd backup can be a good thing...but maybe not the best way to go. I have done some research on this and found a lot of confusing information. And also $$$ are an issue as I am on a tight budget. At this point external hard drives are not an option. I am also curious about Stardocks Keep Safe, but they say it is a temporary solution in between a more permanent solution. So what are your thoughts on this, as I need help and direction and easy to understand.
