The following post in our Reader Question series is an actual user submitted question. To maintain the integrity of the original question, we do not edit or change reader questions in any way.
Q: I have two external hard drives attached to my laptop for additional storage. Do any of these storage systems back up external hard drives as well as the internal drive?
A: The only online backup system that we've found to offer backup on external drives is Mozy. Mozy earned a five-star rating when we reviewed it. While not quite as inexpensive as Carbonite, at only $4.95 per month (minus an additional 10% discount), it's well worth it. You can even try it out free with a 2GB storage cap to make sure it's right for you.

Your comment that Mozy is the only service to backup external hard drives is not accurate. i had carbonite – a good service but it did not back them up – I went with Idrive – they also do and are reasonably priced at $50.00 for 160 GB

I have 4 external drives I need back up. I purchased Carbonite but my system will not let it through? How would I go about backing up my hard drives to MOZY?
Thanks, Marlene Buccione
