Indeed, you must be drained of changing CD/DVD discs when backing up? Flash USB drives are finally here to solve that problem. If you do backup most times, then you are most likely protecting your files from unintended file deletion and recovery, file destruction and so on. I know you will love to be making your backups as comfortable and trouble-free as possible. So, what actually is the solutioin to this nightmare? Of course, you you would want to think of different backup media and decide on the one that suits your needs and requirements. In fact, all CD, DVD and flash USB drives are taken into account.
You might as well make use of CD to backup, but then you may need to dump CD-R discs most a times, or slot in a CD-/+RW discs always to render an alternative backup. You or your friends might carelessly lose the backup CD disc or overwrite your backup data with some other information. Bear in mind that, a CD only stores about 700Mb of data which could not be sufficient. Or is accumulating different CDs of your backup copy.
Same thing applies to backing up to DVD. Nevertheless, a DVD accumulates from 4.7Gb to about 18.6Gb of information, but the truth is that it may not be fitting backing up to DVD? An external hard disk drive or a flash USB drive will be quicker, more consistent and simple overall. This is where a flash USB drive comes useful. It does not only allow quicker data copying than CD or DVD, but can as well save up from 256Mb to 4Gb of data or even more.
However, you can travel with your USB drive anywhere around the world and be able to transfer information between distant computers without doing any FTP backup. Having said that, the only problem of a flash USB backup is that the drive is indeed restricted to about 100 000 writings, while a further little problem ( or benefit, if put kindly) is that the system is so undersized you can without problems misplace or lose it.
