Help me decide which backup solution is best

[chasem]

On my customers computer, zip drives wont work, due to a driver issue.
I could format and redo it but that is out of the question

He is going to be backing up 230mb daily. it needs to take under 7 minutes to backup and the media needs to be very portable.

NO IOMEGA PRODUCTS PLZ


thx

cd-rw drive. cheap media, and nowadays they burn 650mb in under 10min.

Get a USB enclosure and slap a 24x10x40 CDRW in it.

 

[wfbberzerker]

wouldnt the USB really slow it down tho?

 

[chasem]

it has to be removable media, cds wont work, and it has to be USB

Flashmemory or Smartmedia with a card reader? You should be able to get them in 256 MB flavors.

7 minutes should be ok for 230 MB...

256MB USB Pen drive

Another vote for 256MB USB Pendrive.

Got 128MB one here.. works great. No driver needed if the os is WinME/Win2k/WinXP
Cant beat the portability.
