Well, if it's a floppy drive, it reads and writes to floppy disks. If it works with your Mac, you could connect it and move data from your Mac onto floppies. But since each floppy only holds a relatively tiny amount of data, it doesn't make much sense to use them for backing up a lot of data, right? It sounds as though you would like to have a back-up strategy for the data on your Mac. (Always an excellent idea!) Most people use an external hard drive for this. Makes it very easy. What Mac do you have? Running what OS?
