[pchelpers] Re: backing up pc files

I would like to interject just one thing here.  It is always better to
keep a backup on a writeonce cd if it is vital.  Reason is that
rewriteables are notorious for being fussy about reading cd's made on
another burner.  Read: have to replace your CD burner for what ever
reason.  The chances of success go up with the quality of the burner.
The same is true with speed.  A cd burned at a high speed will many
times not be read by a slower (older) burner or cd.  I do intermediate
updates on rewriteabels, i.e., daily backups, then burn a permanent one
for file to be kept off site.
