Guenter Valet and myself just wrote an article in the Clinical
Immunology Newsletter 17, number 1 page 7-13, 1997. " A PRIMER ON
COMPUTERS, INFORMATION MANAGEMENT AND INTERNET ACCESS FOR CYTOMETRY"
In this article we discuss the issue of archiving data...
Can I be so bold to quote something that I wrote myself...
"Data backups are best done immediately before a major system
crash!"..... "...it is not IF but WHEN a disk crashes that all the
data are lost."
Incremental backups to a system drive is OK for short term extra
safety (like for a week), but you really should consider an
alternative method such as tape, optical or CD recorder.
