When backing up your computer on an external hard drive, does the whole program and data get backed up or just the data? My reason for asking is because I would like to replace my current desktop computer that has about 50GB listed on the hard drive. If I were to purchase a new computer could I also but an external hard drive, back up my old unit then transfer it to the new unit? Or, am I going about it in the wrong way?????
Your assistance will be gratefully appreciated!
