John, I agree that it's simple, but I think it's important to also
recognize the shortcomings of this method. You have really only one
backup - your zip disk. Disk failure is usually how you lose data,
and if the zip disk fails, you've lost all the backup copies.
Additional disks are pretty cheap insurance.
