First, i would like to thank all of you for replying to my question. Second, I agree that all of you are correct What i didnt mention is that i do backup the things of utmost importance like documents, music, picutures, etc... BUT The thing is that i have over 40 full length 8 GIG DVD movies that i bought and i like to copy them to my Home Theater PC along with all the video that is recorded onto it from the TV. It would be way to costly (Double) to be keeping backups of all of this on another HD so i would just like to know if there was a program that could kinda like tell me if something is going wrong and maybe fix it... and yes i am aware of S.M.A.R.T but i am just looking around for other possible alternatives. Thanks in Advance Eddie
