I'm concerned about the reliability of flash drives. Maybe they're made better than they used to be but they're still easy to lose or have stolen. Plus with those "you get what you pay for". I use them only for transporting data, not for backup.
A good external USB hard drive is more reliable. Plus it's good to have backup off-site in case a disaster hits your home. Burn a CD or DVD and stick it in your safe-deposit box or share a couple of them with trusted familiy or friends so you have other copies available. Or use cloud backup, if you trust your backups to someone else's server <g> Sincerely, Sherry Technical Support Legacy Family Tree On Wed, Nov 16, 2011 at 8:58 AM, <[email protected]> wrote: > I do back up to a flash drive frequently.
