[Dx4win] Backup Of Logbook to Floppy

Fri, 12 Dec 2003 11:46:15 +0100

Hi Dick,
You're right, but flash memory is still faster, no aging mechanical
movements, no impact from magnetized environment and, besides, the product
life of drives like ZIP is very short today ( I have both 100 MB ZIP and 2GB
Jazz I do not use any more for already 2 years...).

I don't know how many people use ZIP drives, but a single 250 MB ZIP drive
will handle more QSOs than I could ever create in a lifetime.  ZIP even
offers software that will automatically backup any file or files you
specify whenever those files change.  Lots of options, Bud.
