I have backup sets made circa 1980 on 60..80 flopies (the under 1 Mb 
size), still in working condition. The computer was an 8086 and I used PC 
Backup from Central Point Software. It was reliable and fast; we don't 
have the like of it nowdays.

Nowdays, you can't even buy a box of 10 disketes and be sure that all of 
them work for a week - even if they are from a reliable brand.


Reliable, durable, backup: use ink on paper! It lasts centuries. That's 
proven reliability! :-p
