Re: Saving Files

Redundancy - use more than one CD.

I use USB drives *and* CDs because method redundancy
also has its advantages.

In addition to saving my files on the computer I also save them on CDs. Recently a CD with very important files on it developed a fault, which resulted in the CD showing empty.
The whole idea of saving files is that if my computer crashes (as it did, so that I had to reinstall Windows loosing all my data) I will still have all my files on the CDs, but if these fail as well how else can I save the Files?
