[quote=Anonymous]Get an external hard drive that's a bit bigger in size than your current machine. I use Western Digital My Passports and Seagates, but there are many you can find at Walmart or Office Depot. Would recommend USB3 connection if possible on your machine for faster data transfer. You can piecemeal drag and drop files across to the new hard drive once it is connected, or you can find a program like Carbon Copy Cloner or Time Machine and just copy everything automatically. When your new machine arrives just reverse the process. What kind of machine do you have by the way? There may be another way that doesn't require an external hard drive for now. Going forward, I personally recommend 'layers' of backups: an external hard drive backup but also a cloud-based backup system like Backblaze.com[/quote]
