"I need to do repairs on my pc and need to backup my hard drive, full system backup, so I can re-boot my running system. My hard drive crashed awhile back and some of my files were permanently damaged. It is preventing me from downloading some programs, from upgrading others, and it has really become bothersome. Even though I got a new hard drive installed on it, the files were corrupt and/or damaged and I have a lot of data I can't afford to lose. Most of it is probably irreplacable, or would take forever to redownload. I am currently trying to locate and compare my options, Thank you."
