Good afternoon - We use Past Perfect as our collections database,
and periodically I have been backing it up to CDs. If I include all the image
files, I'm up to 4 discs per backup. This gets a little clumsy after a while, as
well as costly. I am nervous using the cheap office-supply, 100-per-spindle CDs
for our precious data, but we can't afford to chomp our way through spindle
after spindle of the better quality CDs. Our office computers don't have
DVD burners. Is there some reliable, large-dapacity storage medium that I could
use for these backups, something I could take home with me, preferably something
I could re-use rather than having to use it once and then discard
it?
Thanks,
Anne
