Multiple duplicate backups and >periodic testing of the backup is still a good idea. So has anyone written a batch file to automatically navigate a file directory tree and test the ZIP files? Most of what I want to get off floppies are shareware games I downloaded in my BBS days. To think I used to pick and choose which files to put on what disk for maximum use of the disks. It was the transition from 5.25" to 3.5", so I even chose the format closest to the size of the file(s). Now I'll probably take all that stuff, put it on a CD-R and not even fill half of it up. >It's just >incredible handy to stuff gobs of 5.25 or 3.5 inch backups on a CD-R or >DVD-R. Amen, brother! That's my goal. I've got a ton of disks to back up and get rid of so I can reclaim a little bit of space. -- Lee K.
