417635 2006-01-03 11:35:00 nah, use an internal hard drive ie 200GB seagate with 5 year warrenty and an external hard drive case for about $200 Prescott (11)
417636 2006-01-03 11:50:00 CD 600 - 700 Mb and around 30cents each.

Two USB pen drives, 1Gb is around $100

417637 2006-01-03 20:11:00 Where to start, I know after my last post :p, in order.

Oh ok, tell me more.

The only thing with that is all the accounting programs save the data in their directory. :groan:

Yeah I was looking at MS Backup, and I think that might be the way to go to get the files on the backup. :D

That is basicly an IDE HDD with case and the price inflated :p

Yeah that would work, only thing is the computer has an 80Gb HDD, 200 is overkill :p

We want a little more cappacity than CD an thumb drives.

417638 2006-01-03 20:28:00 can you not change the accounting programs directory?
you can get a smaller HDD and do the same, maybe a 120GB would suit. it would be cheaper too, but i would go for something big.

417639 2006-01-03 21:03:00 No it is a pain, they come standard but I will have a look when I am next there.

Even 120Gb will be too much, but oh well, when the size drops much more the price increases again :groan:

Do you use the backup function in both those programs, you may be able to point it where you like. I would save the backups to C:/backup then copy across to two of the above.

417643 2006-01-03 21:41:00 Yeah I think, I don't handle the accounts, so not really sure.

True, that maybe the way to go :)
