Nick,

<div>One approach is to run a program that converts the system into a virtual machine image. There are different codes for this depending on your virtualization software. (vmware, hyper v, virtualbox, etc.) Then you get a big (!) folder representing your
old system that you can put on an external multi-terabyte drive and copy as needed.</div>

<p class="MsoNormal">I was about to give up on my 460 Gig hd HP because [it was old and] I was running out of disk space, only to discover that the standard machine offered by my university to replace it has LESS disk space. Wondering how people are storing
stuff. Are the days of buying larger and larger hard disks and never making any decisions over? [sigh} Note that cloud storage is not an option to me for half the year. Are people buying terabyte sized USB drives and running software from them or telling
some software to store to them? How’s that work? <o:p></o:p></p>
