Backup process

Thread needs solution

I want to always have 2 full backups of my computer.
I'm talking 155gb for everything.
What would be the recommended way?
Can I set it up so after it has 2 full backups and starts a third.....it will just delete the oldest and create a new one?
Where would I find some good instructions to set this up?

Also,
It would be backing up the PO to a MAXTOR 500gb USB-2 connected external drive.
Anyone have any guestaments on how long it would take?

Hi Ken,
When one is looking for that type of answers ,the first thing to do is to describe the material used.
Take Babac for instance ,he put all pertinent description of his material under his signature, just to make sure he will never make such a beginner's mistake.. .
