Back-up devices

[M.A. Winterton]

What happens when your house burns down etc, you need a portable backup off site, I back up current plans in progress each night to zip compressed, then weekly back up all to CD with cdrws takes 5 CDs now. I have a duplicate set of Cds I rotate with off site. I've had 2 hardrives die in 2 years now, luckly they were primary drives which was just windows and programs the data is on a 2nd hardrive which is old and running out of room, no wonder they only give 12 month guarrantees on drives these days. My Engineer also backs up to CDRW and keeps them out in another outbuilding. He had a employie a few years back who wasn't backing up properly and did a monthes work when a virus hit him, but atleast he had most on the CDs
