Andy: I don't know anything about it. This is why I asked in the = first place:=20 This is what I wrote earlier asking about it. I've got two 250 GB Western Digital Hard Drives, set up as "Mirror" in a = =3D Dell Dimension 8400. I have 2 x 512 MB RAM. =3D20 I back up to CD/DVD-RW every month. =3D20 Note: I've lost 2 hard drives since February 2005 and the 2 Western =3D Digital are running sweetly. =3D20 I have been thinking about a memory stick to back up, the moment =3D something doesnt appear to be right, but realise that I could buy one = =3D that doesnt back up all data. Bellarc tells me I have 234 GB free. Question: Can someone please recommend a memory stick that would back = =3D up my HD, and some? I know, the math isnt difficult but I would like = =3D the advice of those with experience who might recommend, please. It =3D might be of interest to others.=3D20 Re: Belarc ~ System Security Status:=3D20 Having accessed Belarc Advisor for this purpose it states that System = =3D Security Status is 3.13. out of 10, but it states, under Microsoft =3D Security Updates "Status Unknown" I am up to date with MUs. =3D20 Question: Can someone please also explain the CIS Benchmark principle = =3D please. In words of one syllable please. d;^) Its now 23.02 GMT time and I am about to quit for the night.
