    We have 3 PCs and a laptop. My question is, does each PC need its own backup drive if we go external?

    I only have 1 PC that is RAID capable. All running XP Pro SP2

    Obviously the laptop has to have an external drive or discs for backup.

    I have Acronis true image to utilize. :D

    OH and the RAID question, the second drive has to be identical to the main correct?

    I use a 400gb Usb external HDD to back up both my desktop and laptop.

    It has worked fine for me so far.

    As to the raid bit of your question I cant help. sorry
