Well, I didn't suggest a "permanent backup" just a backup. And I also suggested using DVD's as well.
No system is perfect, but if you are careful and make duplicates, you can be pretty well assured that your data will last. I like the convenience of using hard disks and the security of using a DVD ... together the system works for me. It seems to work for others as well. Shel > [Original Message] > From: J. C.
