Hi I am thinking of backing up my hard drive just incase something happens and i loose everything, I used to do it with seagate disk wizard but as i don't have a seagate hard drive anymore I don't think it will work, my main hard drive is a  Western Digital WD6402AAEX 640GB Hard Drive SATA111 7200rpm and I was thinking of buying a Western Digital Caviar Blue 250GB WD2500AAKX Hard Drive - HDD
250GB Western Digital WD2500AAKX 7200RPM 32MB SATA 6GB/S 3.5 to back it onto, the main question is there a free program out there i can use and is it as easy as the seagate disc wizard to use.
