Zip Drive

[Guest guest]

As you know I lost all or most of my files and folders in Juno. I

therefore lost any info that was given on Zip Drive. I can probably

retrieve our discussion on the security thank God.

Now I have a question re Zip Drive. A neighbor has one and said he would

give it to me for free since he found his needs met with the CD-RW. He

has an omega 250. Does this sound secure enough? What do you guys use?

Any chance you use both a CD and a Zip?

Thanks for any help.

I have both a 250 MB zip drive and a 650 MB RW CD. I use both. What I do is to

back up to the CD

once per week, and then to the zip once a both. It may sound like overkill, but

I learned a long

time ago that it was best to have at least 2 backups. I even have 2 sets of zip

disks. I call them

Set A and Set B, and I alternate between them each time I back up.
