" 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.
