You back it up on to what?
I've taken to keeping back ups on little thumb drives. Handy and cheap
(I have rec'd a number of them free)
I haven't decided what the perfect back up medium is because I hear CDs
won't last forever, the thumb drive can be too small or lost. I used to
use online back up services but stopped when I discovered thumb drives.
Anything to save a buck, eh? Yet online back up saved me MANY times
with financial records. I've stopped using Quicken and just use my banks
websites directly.
