Those fortunate backup to SuperDrive DVD's...;-)! Lots'a GB on a single disc?

An (expensive?) tape drive? A CD-RW multichanger? Another harddrive (RAID?)? Above mentioned DVD-Writer? Via a server, which "the thech people" (in white robes;-) keeps backing up, when users are sound asleep? The most common answer to "How do you backup your (very important) files?": Backup?? Followed by various questions to what backup means, or why "I" don't have to backup but everyone else should or... whatewer;-) /jas (Who don't backup his home puter cos when it crashes, it's a puters way of saying: You have to many unimportant msg's, bookmarks, old programs you newer use... and this is the oportunity you have been wating for to get rid of them, format the drive, install a new system and download fresh copies of IE, OE and Acrobat Reader... *g* And as you learned the hard way at work to keep copies of really important files, me the home puter know you have a (unmarked) CD-R of those files somwhere. May I also add, you have those very hard to recreate backup of adresses, CV etc in your safe box at your local bank, which of course is closed now, but will open Monday morning... ) -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
