How to perform an external data backup?

exhaustor58 · 08-17-2012

I am planning on restoring my computer to factory settings due to virus and spyware infections. I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for a simple backup system like this one I found. I need to backup all of my data: documents, pictures, music, videos, etc. and to then restore the data back to the newly reformatted system. Any suggestions?

I generally use cPanel based hosting.
I go to PHP My admin and select all tables and do a back up
or you can do a complete site backup from cpanel.

I only make my HDD copy and then install everything from scratch (or from default boot sector that contains my default HP files restore)

Never used Windows 7 backup & restore tool, though some friends says it works pretty well.
