Any Suggestions Regarding This Backup Question?

[imnxpat]

I want to back up my files and settings with room left over--in other words about 2 gigs. What is the best device for this purpose? a USB Zip flash or--?

I vote for an 8 gig USB memory stick--or two.

THEN, try to collect things together and make zip files that will fit onto a single CD at a time. Some zip programs--I forget which--will span disks, so you can just keep feeding CDs in until the whole thing is backed up. You need to use a Sharpie to number the disks and date them.

I have read that CDs sometimes don't last forever, either. \

You pays your money and you takes your choice.
