Probably what I need is software that will let me "mirror" this hard drive?

Mirroring is one option, with a product like

Symantec Norton Ghost, $70
symantec.com

What I don't like about it: the minute one bit changes on the hard disk it's outdated. A good situation for mirroring is after having set up a new PC or a major OS upgrade - but less for day-to-day changes in your legal work.

My favorite backup program is Dantz Retrospect. I have been using it since 1990, first on a Mac, then on Windows. It lets you perform incremental backups. This saves only changed files so it's ideal for daily backup, only new or modified files are added to the backup media.

I have used Retrospect several times for a complete restore. It's also useful for retrieving older versions of a file. And it works across networks. The Professional version includes two licenses.

Retrospect Professional 7, $119 online
dantz.com
Retrospect 7 for Windows features

For getting access to USB devices again you could add a card like this one:

Adaptec USB2connect for Notebooks, $50
adaptecstore.com

No need to revive USB if your notebook has an internal DVD or CD burner - or backup across a network if you at least have FastEthernet (100 Mbps).
