| Backup to Memory Stick? I have Vaio VGN-SZ4 Vista Business Laptop Is it reasonable to back up my data (all in a documents folder) to an ordinary 120Mb memory stick?. There is ample space to overwrite each weekly back up I want a backup stored outside my computer or its environment. Thanks Michael -- saxelby  |

| Re: Backup to Memory Stick?
My only concern would be that flash memory drives have only so many read-write cycles before they fail so you would need to consider that as a possible point of failure in using that kind of device for a backup. -- Richard G.

I don't see why not, but it is always wise to rotate multiple backups. Using 2 or 3 "memory sticks" on alternate days would be better. -- "saxelby" <guest@unknown-email.com> wrote in message news:d08a2c5340fdd69830b08ad2b556e4c9@nntp-gateway.com... > > I have Vaio VGN-SZ4 Vista Business Laptop > > Is it reasonable to back up my data (all in a documents folder) to an > ordinary 120Mb memory stick?.
