how do i backup my files into my external Hard Disk?
I have copied/passed my files before into my external hard disk. Now, i need to format my laptop again, how do backup my files without deleting my old one ?
1) Copy all files you want to keep onto the external HDD
2) QUINTUPPLE!!! check to make sure you coppied everything onto your external HDD
3) Format computer, reinstall OSX/Windows/Linux
4) Copy files from external HDD back onto computer, keep everything on the external drive still just incase something goes wrong.
5) Do a little dance because you just did what computer stores like geek squad do for alot more money than you paid.

i’ve been using a 1TB external drive to keep all my data on since i stopped using windows, now i switch linux distros pretty much once every 2 weeks. works like a charm.
