Poll: What do you backup your data to?

I thought it would be interesting to find out who uses a floppy disk, USB drive, External Hard Drive, CD-ROM or Tape to backup their documents.

I use Acronis TrueImage to image a my whole HD to external HD. I also use DVDs to save some installation files, and temporary backups.

In this case, you should allow more, then one vote for each person.

OK. But how do I do that? Does it need to be done when the poll is created?

OK. But I'll make sure I'll allow users to choose more options next time I post a poll similar to this.

Yes, we can

I voted "Patio Will Love This Poll" since I have this horribly bad habit of not making external backups. (If I had a DVD burner, I might change this... but, I dont)

I have considered hooking up a computer to my network as a workgroup just for backing up and storing, but, eh.

I tend to back up to a local separate partition, which, will fail on HDD failure, but, its good enough for me at the moment.

Since some people backup to, say, two different medias, we wanted to allow one poster to have more, then one choice.

My pick was cdrom but would also have selected removable hdd and internal hdd had they been available.

One good deed is worth more than a year of good intentions.
