Hi, I'm just backing up my stuff that's on the computer. I hope jaws is accessible with a flash drive. Is that the same as a thumb drive because I think I saw a jaws download for thumb drives. I've already experienced starting over and you definitely can't do it yourself. I bought 100 dvd discs so I hope some way I can use them.

Do you want to back up everything on your computer or just selected files? If you want to back up your entire system, you should use your 16gb flash drive instead of DVD's , which can only hold about 4.5gb of data each. Once you decide what you want to back up and what media to store it on, you have to choose a program for performing the backup. But there's a dirty little secret about all these backup programs that nobody likes to talk about. If your hard drive suffers a catastrophic crash and you need to perform a complete system recovery, you will need tech-savvy sighted help to get up and running again regardless of which program you choose. This is because you won't have any speech to guide you through the restore process. If there is an easy way to perform a complete system restore from an external hard drive or flash drive that does not require the use of an inaccessible boot CD, I would sure like to know about it.
