Back up

Question

I have been backing up three seperate floppies weekly.  One is 'my docs' which I update by choosing 'yes to all' when asked 'do I want to overwrite'. The second is password etc material I do not want in my pc but still need to uodate and back up. The third is a $ category I'd prefer to keep seperate + requires  updates +  backup. Floppies are on the way out and I was thinking of a flash drive. When I back up to the floppies I can use individual disks + they are inexpensive - I replace them each month. Cd's are a bit more expensive. I do have cd-rw's but I don't trust their intergrity after many times written to. I'm not familiar with flash drives but wonder if you can write to one with seperate categories like I mentioned above and each week just isolate, update, and back up the sepeate categories. This way I would have one backup media containg three sepeate categories, each of which could be updated individually. By the way ,is there a flash drive that does not need software so you can plug it into any 2.0 usb port and read, update and save? I'm thinking if I used 3 floppies before and had a lot of room to spare a 750 mb flash drive would be good. Hope this is clear enough and thank you

get a flash drive and you can make seperate directories and name them to each of your tasks and you will be go to go.
