I wonder though how it is making continuous backups of files that are currently open and in use like the Lightroom Catalog. I also wonder about how much additional strain it is putting on your computer's processor. These are just my hypothetical questions so if it works well please stick with it! -- David Marx Dear Ken,

I like how Memeo Sync can automatically synchronize my external HD with all my photos and LR Catalog, as well as my computer's C Drive with a folder that lives on another (2nd External) Hard drive in real time as I make changes. That way I'll always have everything on 2 hard drives. Any thoughts on Acronis vs Memeo Sync?

Welcome. Two thoughts. First I hope that you read the whole article on <a href="http://thelightroomlab.com/2012/01/professional-grade-backup-plans/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Professional-Grade Backup Plans</a> first. Second, you might give <a href="http://www.cobiansoft.com/cobianbackup.htm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Cobain 10</a> a try before purchasing Acronis. It is not as elegant or as powerful but I like the price! (Donationware) Please let me know if you need any help getting that backup system going. -- David Marx Dear Gerry Love,

It lacks the version chain system introduced in Acronis True Image 2010 and I am not sure that it works with 64-bit versions of Windows. It's a nice freebee if you have an older operating system and a Seagate disk but that's about all.... -- David Marx Dear Miguel Garcia,

To use this software you only need to have at least one Seagate or Maxtor HDD connected to your computer (it could be internal or external). To download or more information, go to Seagate web site and navgate to: Seagate / Suport and Downloads / Disk Wizard Good luck and... better backups, for free and from an absolutely trust able brand as Seagate.

One tip... if you really want to protect your data and OS make sure that bootable disk that you have created is bootable... So insert it into you CD/DVD as soon as you created it and try to boot, in some cases the disk can't boot the system, ha-ha... Just recreate the disk and try again Great software, saved a lot of times!
