Janet,
A memory stick is a small flash drive stick. It usually has up to 1 GB and
lately they have come out with 2 GB. That's probably not enough space to
backup
your entire system. If you're looking to back up specific files like your
e-mail, that should be more than sufficient.
I use memory sticks to transport all my mail, my gun inventory, and various
other files such as a password file, etc. every time I travel. It all fits on
one stick, but I like redundancy so I copy it twice (two sticks).
Hope that helps clear the topic up.
