what is the best way to store files?
Tiffany
I have a ton of pics and avis. Does anyone know of a safe way to store these? I currently have them on cd. Is there a better way like an external hard drive or do those crash. I don't want to keep them on the computer because i'm scared it will crash and loose them all. Is cd currently the best way.

USB pocket drive...I got a 1.0 GB for $12 at Walmart. Actually, I got 2, they're so cheap. One I actually take to work...portable, as intended.
Also got a USB external 80 GB drive by Iomega. It's good...came with back up softwere that works good, too.
*And*, I back up on DVDs and CD-ROMs. CD-ROMs are so cheap now...I actually will just throw those out as I re-do current back ups.
Finally, I have 2 installed HDs, so, right, I will occasionally back up things from one internal to the other internal HD for a very, very fast backup.
Also, I occasionally store data DVDs "offsite" -- like maybe at work or in my car, just in case my house gets completely burned down or who-knows-what in this incredibly dangerous world.
Why so much? Cuz I'm human and do stupid things, like the time I formatted my backup drive *and* killed the files on my installed drive. If I ever get that stupid again, (and it's likely, cuz I'm human) I've still got those data DVDs, CD-ROMs and USB pocket drives. And because I really value the accumulated data...some of which represents years of work.
How valuable is your data? What's it worth to you to never have to completely re-write, re-download, re-shoot every last byte of it? Your back-up investment should be commensurate with how much you value the data.
