In many situations a solution that allows for recovery of a file
that got deleted in error (or corrupted
best solution I see is
* backup on an external HDD (I have bough an usb<>IDE device just
for that)
* burn dvd's
CD's or DVD's are not suited well for long term storage
Wasn't that tested some years ago on TOM's H.G. ???
Much decay after five years afair.
