Sue,
Actually, I now will have a hard drive for serious backups. Al bought me a new one, faster, and the old one will be the back up harddrive. Sweet!
But, I am so paranoid about backups that when I have done a bit of work, I back up the data files to a DVD or CD and also put the files on other computers. I need to do the transfer to the other computers more frequently than I do, but if I have the data backed up on CD or DVD, heaven forbid, if I really lose a hard drive or computer, I can reinstall programs and then reinstall data.
Never can be toooooooo careful with that ole data!
Thanks for the suggestion, tis a good one!
