I know people seemed kind of turned off by the idea of GOTEK floppy disk

the GOTEK is a great way to do it. Put a GOTEK and a real drive on the
machine and just
use backup. Then, for the purists, take the GOTEK back off and hide it
in a drawer.
This - a gotek and an original-format floppy drive - is my standard
setup for machines that support multiple floppy drives.
I could write a small essay on all the ways this works for me, but
they mostly boil down to one choice.
Sometimes I want the whole experience, complete with noise and
chatter and blinky amber lights, and sometimes I want to just get it
done and move on.
Example: Installing WFW 3.11. Been here, done this, way too many
times. Gotek.
