Backing Up Hard Drive to Hard Drive: Best Method

[kctexan]

Hi, again! I have some TV show files on a 2Tb hard drive, and some on a 1Tb hard drive. I bought a 3Tb hard drive, a USB "expander" (1 to 7) and USB cable. What is the best method of backing up my TV show files, and everything else on the 1 & 2 Tb drives, to the 3Tb drive? I would like to get these drives backed up asap, and would be very appreciative for your help. By the way, I fully support donations to this site.

I have a partition on my harddrive that i put my video files then once in a while i attach a 1TB external up and copy the entire partition using a freeware program called Karen's Replicator. You tell it what drive you want to copy and it transfers the files skipping any that are already on there. Set up to run and let it go. It has a timing feature for regular backups and can do directories or whole drives. It can be found at...
