back when I had multiple dogs and was breeding and so on I would put a pair of boxers backwards on the bitches with a sanitary pad in it. looked funny, they didn't always think about their clothing when peeing, but it was effective. she can't go into a kennel environment (it's an "open" kennel everyone gets to play and hang out together) because of her smell

Backing up to the web presents similar challenges. I currently have not quite a terabyte of storage, spread across half a dozen physical drives in my desktop. I could make incremental backups to the web (IE: stuff that has changed since last backup), but getting the initial backup on the cloud would be time consuming...


My SO stilll uses an old MS-DOS program called Meal Master. It was written by a programmer whose wife wanted a recipe database. IT worked well enough to become quite popular, and current Windows based products mostly still have an option to import recipes in the transfer format Meal Master used. I'll have to see what we might have in pound cake recipes.

is the general consensus that flash drives are the way to go? I just bought a scanner to take to my folks to go through old photographs. I was thinking about sending out disks, but should it be the drives?

If my experience prompts just one person to begin backing up, it will have been worth it.

Thanks everyone. I've opened a different thread to continue the discussion. This time, I'm listening.......I promise.
did you save your stuff?
