This is a general question concerning ways for students to routinely backup
their data on SUN and SGI computers. I plan to add a few workstations to
the lab. As I can think of it, there are a few media that can be used:
3.5" floppies, magnetic tapes, magneto optical drives, writeable CDs, and
ZIP and Jazz drives. Obviously floppies have limited capacity and magnetic
tapes are too slow, and they are out of the question. One big concern is
how safe the stored data will be when around the magnets. Ease of use is
another concern. I would like to hear your experiences with any of these
products. I will post a summary afterwards. Thank you.
Best Regards,
Jiejun
