My back up back up back up system is papyrus. It's backed up onto stone tablets. I have embossed copper sheets just before the papyrus and after laser print on laminated acid free paper sealed in oxygen barrier foil bags.<BR>

Flash storage devices are not infallible and can have their data damaged due to factors mentioned above. It is important to backup important information on multiple media <B>or even print them on paper for long-term storage. Do not store important data solely on Flash storage devices</B>. <BR>
