Floppy disks
Floppy disks are a good choice for many users. They are very portable, easy for the computer to write, and easy to store. Generally, you should ZIP your backup files (you are given the option to do so in Step 5 of the backup procedure) if you are going to backup to floppy disks. Doing so will save space requiring less floppies for backup, plus also allow your files to be 'spanned' across multiple floppies if necessary.
However, if you have many files, or very large files, you may want to consider other means of backing up your data.
Another Computer on Network
If you are in an office that has its computers networked together, one of these computers (often the server computer) may be designated as the place to which to backup your data. Backing up over a network is usually very convenient.
The Internet
Several sites on the Internet offer users a place to store their files. At the time of this writing, a number of Internet sites actually offer this service for free (although users may see some advertising while using their sites). Check www.e-press.com for more information.
CD-ROMs
A CD-ROM that you burn yourself in your computer is sometimes called a CD-R (or CD-RW if it is re-usable).
CD-Rs can hold more than 600MB of data - the equivalent of many hundreds of floppy disks.
If you have many files, backing up to a CD-R is often the most efficient solution. EasyOffice Backup will group and copy all the files you need to back up to one convenient folder, which you can then back up using your CD-R software.
Tape and Other Backup Media
EasyOffice Backup will group and copy all the files you need to back up to one convenient folder, which you can then back up using any specialized backup systems you may have.
