You still have one of those?

I had 2 Jaz Drives working through the old SCSI interface, but that was LOOOOOOOONG ago.

You cant expect 110% from others, when most times, they don't expect even 90% from themselves. -- Me.

That was almost years ago. :lol:

This computer is over 3 years old, but I had the Dell warranty package. Just before that package expired I replaced a lot of the parts and purchased memory, so I'll be using this one for a while longer, hopefully. :fingers:

Its just ridiculous to think that Jaz drives had cost $300, and the 1GB disc carts for them cost $95.....

and today, you can get 4GB SD cards no bigger than a quarter for like $10

I know. I never paid for it though. My husband borrowed one from work.

so just a note... on all these backup talks, XP comes with it's own backup software "NTbackup" (shown on the Programs>Acessories>system tools) as "Backup" if it's not installed by default the install file is on the actual OS install disk, it'll do both full system backups (which include the registry and customized system files necessary for starting up called the 'system state') and also do the ASR (automated system recovery) which will allow you to back everything up to a harddrive or across DVDs and then if you ever have to reinstall you simply use the ASR disk it creates to put it into that mode of reinstall so all your data gets put back as it reinstalls the OS and in the end everything will end up like it was when you created the ASR disk

making and image will get you the same results pretty much as the ASR and might be more simple, but the built in backup program for XP is much more user friendly than XCOPY batch files and gives you more options for how you manage your backups (i.e. you can back up just want changed since the last back up (incrimental) or you can back up what's changed since the last full (differential) without clearing the archive bits that tell the computer if something's changed since the last back up, you can do just dayly, set schedules, etc...
and again unlike xcopy it has the added bonus of both backing up the system state and registry, AND sticking a backup copy of the registry in a system folder near the registry so you can recover it if it ever gets corrupted from a command line interface
I used to use MSbackup all the time to back up my other computer, which ran windows 98. When I got this computer with XP, MSbackup was no longer supported, so I had to use a zip drive to move all of my files. For that reason I'd rather use a more generic command to backup files, like XCopy.
NTbackup is the Win2k/XP version of that then pretty much if you will :thumbs:

Right, but the restore function wasn't compatible, so I couldn't move my files using it. It is a great tool for backing up, but if this computer crashes that badly, I might get a different computer by then and run into that same compatibility issue. That's my fear. This computer is already almost 4 years old.
