Once I've transferred it all can I delete them from my laptop - I'm new to using this external harddrive and not to sure about how it all works.

I'm looking into a laptop or even just a netbook so when I'm doing invoicing I'm not locked in my office where my PC is. Can quickboiks (the program itself) and all the data be stored on an external hard drive and accessed from any old netbook? Hi. :)

Personally I regularly backup my files to make sure that whatever happens to my computer I can easily get it in my backup files.

It is important however to treat it with extra care because it can spoil quite easily just like in your case :) . They are very useful if you do not want to congest your main computer with things that you may not need to use on daily basis. An external hard drive is very good just in case your computer crashes.

My 2 TB drive contains the master copy of all my data. My 1 TB portable hard drive contains a copy of the data that is on my larger external hard drive. I store my portable in another location to help keep my data safe. I am looking at buying a second portable drive to create a second copy of my data for even more protection. With the price of external hard drives, everyone should look at using one for backing up their data - especially if you don't want to lose your data. I currently have a few external hard drives.
