1205331 2011-05-28 00:49:00 Another thought. We are on a Lan network, so theoretically the computers are connected each other already. Yes?

Nex question.

How do I get them to talk to each other & transfer/copy files.? Again, in little words please. PJ

1205332 2011-05-28 03:27:00 OK Thanks. Don't fancy that. Will wait till an 8GB flash drive creeps into the budgt. Fingers xxx in the meantime. Got stuff I do not want to lose. Then I will transfer it to the desktop. PJ

Warehouse stationary is having a sale for an 8GB Flash Drive for $20. Don't know if its still on.

1205333 2011-05-28 04:09:00 Most DVD±R/RWs are advertised as having a capacity of 4 . 7 GB .

However these DVDs seem to hold less than the stated 4 . 7GB because many manufacturers quote the capacity of a DVD using decimal prefixes instead of the binary prefixes used by some software .

While a 4 . 7 GB DVD can store 4 . 7 billion bytes: 4,700,000,000 bytes ÷ 1000 B/kB = 4,700,000 kB ÷ 1000 kB/MB = 4,700 MB ÷ 1000 MB/GB = 4 . 7 GB, using binary prefixes the same capacity is roughly 4 . 38 GiB: 4,700,000,000 bytes ÷ 1024 B/KiB = 4,589,844 KiB ÷ 1024 KiB/MiB = 4,482 . 27 MiB ÷ 1024 MiB/GiB = 4 . 38 GiB .

1205337 2011-05-29 22:41:00 If you can burn DVD's as opposed to CD's they hold 4.3G so it would only take 2.

Still one of the cheapest $/G option for backups other than using a hard drive.

Edit: somehow missed the 2nd page of posts, I see DVD's have already been mentioned

1205338 2011-05-29 23:12:00 You should want backups to be kept offsite, off the network, & be reliable
Time to get serious.

USB Hard Drive ( a name brand one).
NOT USB stick

1205339 2011-05-30 00:02:00 Thanks all. Problem partly solved. Put the two Folders that were most important to me onto a flash drive & transferred them to the PC as a backup. Don't want to put anymore on till & get a bigger HD than Sata 160, in the future. PJ:thanks Poppa John (284)
