| Backup
devices are a useful addition to your PC system. As
there name suggests they are used to backup your data
and configured software. There are several different
types of drives and media to perform this operation.
Further more there are a wide variety of system interfaces
available on these peripherals. Common types of interface
include: - IDE, SCSI, USB, FIREWIRE. Once you
have decided what type of interface to use the selection
of type and capacity can be narrowed down.
A
CDROM is now also a common method of backing up small
amounts of data, the limitation is the 650-700MB capacity
placed on the medium. You can use a CDRW which can be
written to numerous times. A standard CD can only be
written to once, and hence should be considered as a
write once backup item.
