Is there a way to download all programs from my computer at once onto a hard drive or backup device?
My laptop needs servicing and they warn I could use lose all my data during the repair if I do not back it up. They might even send me a new laptop. I have a ton of information and programs on my computer and it would take me probably 15 - 20 hours to do everything individually. My computer still works currently. Any help?

Only way to really do that is to get another hard drive about the same size as your current one and use a program like Norton Ghost to clone your current drive. Otherwise, programs are not copy-able. 99.99% of the time they have to be re-installed.
Yes, there is a way, you should buy an external hard-drive and backup all your info, its quick and easy. You can find them in pretty much any up-to-date electronics store like Best Buy or Radio Shack. They come in varying sizes and they can carry loads of info. Good Luck. Hope I helped.
I recommend you backup your computer to another storage drive.
you can use a backup programm to make the process easier,like
EzBackup Software.
With EzBACKUP, backing up to another drive is easy as 1, 2, 3. First, EzBACKUP will transfer an exact image copy of your hard drive–partitions, preferences, everything–to your backup drive. You can use EzBackup with any internal or external storage drive. Next, you’ll just point and click to tell EzBackup which individual files you want backed up on a regular basis and when and how often you want these backups to take place.
