Oli1983uk Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 My dad needs someway to back up his work files, he was using floppy disk but they would lose the data from time to time, he has not started using CD-RW's but he aint the sure on what he is doing with them but iw as thinking he could use a USB pen drive, i am just wondering if they would be safer to use than a CD, can they be corrupted with virus and things? he will only be using it for word files and nothing else. What you recommand to use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shino Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 A cheap USB pen drive for 15€ will be more than enough for some word files, and its far more usefull than a cd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshMat Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I agree, usb pen files are efficient and safe, i hate floopys so much, my last major homework was late was because that was all i had so i smashed up the little bugger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Odwin Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I'd back-up to more than one place if I was concerned. As well as the USB thing Maybe get a Gmail account and that app that lets you use it as a network drive thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
