> Just want to find out if anyone has tried using these sticks and any problems comments they have.
I haven't tried USB sticks, because they are too small for my needs. I prefer a backup of the entire drive because this minimize downtime when I need to restore and it save me time that I would otherwise need to spend to manually add additional locations or monitor backup size. As far as I can see this, your scheme will only protect you against hardware failures. It won't help if your office is broken into or if the entire building burns down. In this case you absolutely need your software install packages to get started. Project is important, but without the software and the licenses you can't use them. This aside the question is when do you do the backup? Is it quick enough to be done during the lunch break? Then you could plug in the USB stick, go to lunch and put the stick into your pocket. If it runs longer than that it's unlikely that someone will wait in the evening for the backup to complete, especially when the performance degrades. So you would need to pick it up in the morning and be always two days behind with the backup. -- Christof _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/b0857a0df12840009db5a3f0adab3...@fpl5 ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
