You're very couragous to rely on zip drives to secure you data.
To my experience Omega Zip Drive is UNreliable. Some month ago mine started "clicking" and scraped disks where I had saved valuable data. Nobody knew why this common phenomena occured. Iomega just ignored the problem (look at their stock value).
I resolved the enigma by putting the Zip Drive in the oven at 450 deg. for 1 hour. It does not work anymore by I know why.
Believe me, you better get a second hard drive and backup on it, it is much cheaper per Meg, faster and much more reliable.

I agree with your backup method:
I use Explorer weekly to copy equis stock files & portfolios to a Zip drive.
I include the MS explorer and formula files every now & then. I changed
computers recently and installed MStock onto the new drive, then copied the
Zip drive files (not compressed or 'Zip backups') into the fresh Equis
directory. Whn I started MS on the new computer everything was there
exactly as on the old one.
