With my apologies to the IOM thread I have to agree with you in part. First off - the Zip Drive is a very handy piece of equipment for many consumers. Our local Kinko's now has Zip Drives thus when I need to use some of their resources that I don't posess it's a lot better taking a Zip disk as opposed to a pile of reformatted AOL promotional floppies. Now as to where you're right - I can't think of an IS department anywhere that would rely on the Zip drives for backup purposes. I'd have to say that tapes or CDR-ROMs would be preferable due to reliability & performance issues but with hard drives under $200 for 5 GB a true RAID 3 setup would be my choice as the primary backup since, in effect, no "backups" are required. For reference: pacificexp.com As time passes older data can easily be archived to other media.
