Backup medium

[Susan Macchia]

I do the same thing for backups.  CDRWs, 4-6 to rotate.  And a couple of
floppies for my pilot data and budget (until they get too big).

Works for me :-)

My machine is used both for @ home business, but mostly personal and is shared
with my spouse.

For just a gig or two, I'd use 2-3 CDRWs(or even 4-6 to rotate) to backup the 
stuff you need.  The cost of a CDRW drive and media is smaller than any tape 
solution that you would find.  I've used tape backups, and if not checked 
regularilly for errors and tape deteriation, you can end up with a bad 
backup.  Then again, I haven't used any DDS3 drives(or better quality), maybe 
they are more reliable.
