- Make the most of your Zip drive. Use Zip disks to:
-
- 1. Extend your hard disk (hard disk upgrade alternative).
- Are you constantly running out of hard disk space? Your Zip
- drive and disks give you unlimited storage for all your
- information. By placing files on Zip disks, you have ready
- access to them without filling up your hard disk. Zip Tools
- software will help you find any files you need, and Zip
- drive's hard-disk-like performance will let you access
- information quickly.
-
- 2. Move information.
- Do you need to move information between different work
- locations? Between home and work? To and from clients?
- Your Zip drive and disks offer complete mobility. Zip disks
- fit in a shirt pocket; your Zip drive is easy to carry and
- quick to set up. The Guest program allows you to use your
- Zip drive temporarily almost anywhere.
-
- 3. Back up your hard disk.
- Your Zip drive makes backups fast and simple. You don't
- need special backup software just copy critical files to a
- Zip disk. Copying is lightning fast, and you end up with an
- exact duplicate of your original files. If you need to
- restore a file, simply copy it back to your hard drive, or
- just access it directly from the Zip drive.
-
- 4. Create a multimedia library (images, sounds, and video).
- Because of their high capacity, removability, and random
- access, Zip disks are ideal for storage-hungry image, sound,
- and video files. Clips can come from a variety of sources,
- including scanners, CD-ROMs, and video input devices. You
- can create and store multimedia presentations and
- demonstrations, including video, that you can replay
- directly from the Zip disk.
-
- 5. Archive your important records.
- Do you need to keep files for a number of years? Archive
- your valuable files on a Zip disk and store them in a safe
- place. Whenever you need them, you can access them quickly.
-
- 6. Get organized.
- If you work on lots of different projects or with many
- different clients, try segmenting your work onto different
- disks. You can organize your information by project,
- client, date, or whatever. Zip disks give you the capacity
- to get all associated files onto a single disk. Then,
- switching between projects and customers is as simple as
- inserting another Zip disk.
-
- 7. Secure sensitive files.
- To keep sensitive or confidential information safe, store it
- on a Zip disk and use your Zip Tools software to assign a
- password that must be used in order to read from or write to
- the disk. At work, you can protect sensitive information
- such as personnel files, company directories, and product
- plans and designs. At home, you can secure personal
- information such as tax records, budgets, and computerized
- checkbooks.
