Automatically back up files
Hi, I'm no computer expert, but I have a boss who thinks that because I'm in my twenties I automatically understand everything electronic and can do things that might be impossible.

Anyway, he wants to back up his files and I set him up with an extrenal hard drive. However, now he also wants me to set it up so that everytime someone else in the office saves a file (they're all computer illiterate too) it will save both to their hard drive and to the external without them doing any extra work (like saving it twice to different locations). Is that even possible?

Thanks.

How many machines are we talking about here? Yes, it is possible.

A simple backup program installed on each machine can be set up to make backups of changed files on a regular basis.
