Flash USB drive: backup easily, conveniently and securely
Tired of switching CD/DVD discs while backing up? Flash USB drives to the
rescue!
If you already backup often, you are doing the most you can to
secure your files against accidental file deletion and recovery,
file damage and what not. But what can you do to make the backup
process easier?
You may as well use CD to
backup, but you will either need to dump CD-R discs often,
or insert a CD-/+RW discs often to make another backup. Someone
else can also misplace your backup CD disc or overwrite your
backup data with other information. Moreover, a CD only admits
about 700Mb of data, which may not be convenient. Nor is storing
multiple CDs of your backup copy.
The same can be said about backing up to
DVD. Of course, a DVD admits from 4.7Gb to about 18.6Gb of
data, but is it really convenient backing up to DVD? An external
hard disk drive or a
flash USB
drive will be speedier, more reliable and easier overall.
Here is when a flash USB drive comes handy. It not only allows
faster data copying than CD or DVD, but can also admit from
256Mb to 4Gb of data (or maybe more). Moreover, you can take the
USB drive with you anywhere you go and transfer the data between
distant computers without resolving to FTP backup. Of course,
one of the drawbacks of a flash USB backup is that the drive is
only limited to about 100 000 writings, while another slight
disadvantage (or an advantage, if you put it nicely) is that the
device is so small you can easily misplace it.
So there you go. You can go out and hunt for a fitting flash
USB drive or ponder about switching to another backup
medium.
