Wow, that's a trip back in time for me. I'd completely forgotten about ZIP Drives until I read that thread again. Why do I find that peculiar? Because I probably have at least one ZIP drive sitting around the living room some place. :-/

I usually take backup pretty seriously, but a couple of bad batches of discs delayed my archiving project and now it's really gotten away from me.
It'd be nice to have a large external USB HDD to mirror files on, but I've read they're not as reliable as one would hope so I wouldn't want it to be the only place a file is stored. Same goes for USB sticks; two of mine have stopped being recognized by Windows.
Normally I'd use DVD+RWs for temporary backup; right now they're all full. But I just got a fresh 100-count cake box of -Rs, so the archiving project is back in progress.
