Sean >>If you trying to say that the backups are stored as individual files rather than an archive then that is one way to do it.<< Yes that's what I'm saying. >>Its the wrong way but some do it. It lacks error compression, correction and higher throughput associated with other formats...<< I'm sure you're right. But I was doing this back in the early 90's and didn't have much confidence in PC the backup products of that time. Here we are 7, 8, or 9 years later and there's been enough time go by for the process to prove itself. >>I would never ever, ever recommend backing up to floppies. to slow, tedious and prone to errors.. Highly recommend some other form of backup...<< I don't plan on backing up to floppies. That's why I bought the Jaz2 drive. It's just that I have to ask dumb questions until I either obtain the information I need or I use up my quota. And since we're on this topic of questions and quotas.... If you had a Win98 system (I realize Win98 is a dirty word to you) and a Jaz2 drive what software would you use to do backups (ranging from the entire system to just folders or files)? Thanks - Emory
