Hi Jonn,

The hard drive for the Everything Pak is probably around 100 GB. To check this, right click on the drive icon in My Computer and check the Properties option. (By comparison, the Audiophile version is around 1.5 TB.)

To make a back up, it's simply a matter of copying the files to a new disk. Make sure that you enable the option (in Windows: My Computer | Tools | Folder Options | View) to "Show Hidden Files and Folders". This will ensure that if there are any hidden files, they too will get copied across. The back-up drive works identically to the new drive.

PG Music recommend running from the internal hard drive as the first option. This is what I do. I don't worry about updating my back-up copy. What I do is to keep my installation fully up-to-date and keep copies of the updates in an "Update" folder on my USB drive. (This is not really necessary because the latest updates - which will include all previous, relevant updates - are always readily available from PG Music.)

Regards,
Noel
