Very good advice, but my TS directory is over 1 Gig. and growing and I
wouldn't even want to think how many Zip disks would be needed or how long
it would take.
A much simpler, cheaper, and faster solution is to install a 2nd, 3rd, or
4th hard-drive and back up the entire directory to one or more of these
drives. It takes only about 10 minutes to do an incremental back-up and
you're fully protected if a catastrophe occurs.
