| 465541 | 2006-06-25 08:49:00 | <Whacks MTLance very hard around the ear with handbag> Hopefully that will knock some sense into you because that is one of the most inaccurate and dangerous posts I have seen here for a very long time. You really should be very careful about what "advice" you give to people as you could cause a lot of grief by posting misinformation. :annoyed: Jen, can I auction this handbag off on PF1 now please? :p lol. Very funny I already advice that he/she should get an external HDD. And my computer doesn't have any backup at all, so high risk. I need to get another HDD soon. That's a backup advice. BUt I have surger protector. |

Well I think another HDD is still pretty expensive, but the new 'flash/pen' drives, give 1 gb space for about $60 and getting cheaper by the day, which may be an option to use as a backup drive, if you don't have a cd/dvd burner . I also use Nero backup, 1 to 'my documents' and 2, to a cd . After early hard drives crashing, I have been caught to often not to at least back up regularly 'my photos' . |

I would be a little wary of relying on those for important data as I once wiped the contents off my USB flash pen when I forgot to remove it before booting up a computer. It was just as well I had copies of the files still on the hard drive. They are also rather easy to lose, being so small. |

| 465544 | 2006-06-25 11:49:00 | Not to mention that they arent exactly the most reliable backup device if you constantly procrastinate with your backups. | bob_doe_nz (92) | ||

It was just as well I had copies of the files still on the hard drive. They are also rather easy to lose, being so small. I wouldn't totally use it for backup either, but if I didn't have a cd burner, like my old computer, it would of been better than nothing. As for loosing it, I have it attached to a computer bag by lanyard and return it there when not in use. I will also remember not to leave it in there when I boot up, didn't think of that, thanks. |
