The current Apple TV has no hard drive. The original can be used to store and stream supported media over a local network through iTunes, but it cannot be used for storing programs or as a backup drive. An Apple Time Capsule does that.

How do you back up my hard drive?

You get another memory storage device, such as an external hard drive, and you copy everything on your hard drive onto the external hard drive, and keep it safe. That way, if your hard drive crashes, then you can take it out, and plug your external hard drive in, and work from that.

How does an exterior hard drive work?

Think of an external hard drive like a normal hard drive working outside your computer, they work very much in the same way. Normally (unless you are using a SCSI hard drive), they can be connected to your computer via a Firewire or USB connection. If you have a key-drive(aka USB memory stick),they work like a miniature external hard drive in the sense that they store date in an external format; an external hard drive is just like a large key-drive. With both a keydrive and an external hard drive, you simply connect it to your computer, and access its files. When you want to access your internal hard drive, you go to MyComputer and then select the C: drive; The external hard drive is a similar process, you select it's icon (located either on the desktop or MyComputer) and then you can access its files like a normal hard drive. You can drag files out of it onto your desktop, or alternatively, drag files into it to transfer files from your computer.

Is there any difference between saving your photos on an external drive as opposed to a USB flash drive?

Yes, there is a difference between saving photos on an external hard drive and a USB flash drive. An external hard drive typically has a larger storage capacity and is designed for long-term storage of large files like photos. A USB flash drive is more portable and convenient for transferring smaller amounts of data between devices.

Is having 2 hard drives an alternative to using an external hard drive?

It can be..... But I use a maxtor 500gigabyte external hard drive, and it makes a world of difference. It has boosted my ram, and prosscessing speed, and I can take it to work, plug it into my computer there, with all my programs, so i can add in what I did at home instead of lugging around my laptop. I recommend external hard drives more than just adding a 2nd hard drive.
