With a program called "Live File Back-up" it backs up all changes constantly . But I also back up to DVD every month. Why? All magnetic media (jump drives , Hard Discs, Tape drives, ect...) are unstable and can potentially loose data in so many ways. they can even degrade from just time. I am not saying not to use them but a single power surge can take out your computuer and ANY attached drives. I know this because it has happend to us. thankfully I had just that morning backed up to DVD. So if the information is Improtant, Make a non magnetic backup.. not all the time but as a precaution. Just my 2 cents for what its worth. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
