Posted by JFW on March 27, 2008, 10:07 pm Please log in for more thread options I appreciate the three answers I received about my backup problem and want to thank the posters. I would like to try the flash drive suggestion. Are there flash drives that are re-writable?

Think of them as small portable hard drives about the size of a stick of gum. I purchased two and alternate backing up between them, so I have two removeable backups of my data. When you plug the flash drive in the USB, Windows will automatically recognize the new device and assign it a new distinct drive letter. With the larger flash drives (2GB and 4GB versions) and being so cheap, I back up lots of stuff on there aside from my Quicken data.

Neither did floppies, CD-ROMs, or hard drives. Multiple backups are really needed if you cannot do without your data. -- Best regards Han email address is invalid Similar Threads Posted Backing up: Archive vs Year-End file March 27, 2008, 6:35 pm Flexible Spending Account - prior year to current year switchover January 13, 2007, 7:42 pm Remote Backup - Affordable Online Remote Backup Services December 11, 2007, 2:24 am Year End problems again December 9, 2006, 10:04 am Year-end archiving December 30, 2006, 1:13 pm What does a 40 year old AT&T share become??
