Man I used to know how to do this stuff, even went to school for it. Now i'm just stupid.
I have a 40gb hard drive in my daw right now that has a ton of hours on it, but is performing great and always has. But, I'm getting nervous becuase of the amount of hard core multi track use that its seen for almost 2 years now ( I would imagine it has at least 1200 hours of actual high track count grinding on it) You can hear it kicking ass when you have about 20 tracks loaded in, its working hard.
Anyway, I have a 2nd 40gb hard drive sitting around I;ve had for over a year in case this one fails I have instant backup. But, I want everything in the current hard drive just the way it is. Drivers are stable, everything set up how I want, etc.
How can I make an exact duplicate of my current hard drive so that if it failed, I could swap out and be right back in business in 10 minutes? I have the hard drive, all I need to do is copy one to the other exactly as it is.
Thanks
Paul
