Saving Files

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?

Re: Saving Files

For important data you use at least two differing forms of media, and maybe
even two different backup apps
(I use 3 * media & backup apps, in seperate locations)

RE: Saving Files

For short term saving, use a flash Drive.

You need a good backup plan. This will point you in the right direction.
