Hi Jan-Erik,

I'm not that *wet* behind the ears! :)

CDs and tapes are not infallible either. I mostly archive things to my local
machine *AND* to my two external USB drives and my external FireWire drive.
If it is *really* important to me, I'll also go with CD-Rs, ZIP disks, Orb
disks, and flash memory for certain items for added redundancy.

Best regards,

Ken Pergola
