Make a backup of your hard drive in a tape drive is comparable to one of those advice given by their
mother when you were a child: Take an umbrella that day is cloudy and put a coat.
Okay, his mother had
reason from time to time - it might rain and you get wet, but that was not such a horrible thing.
And if the table
allocation (FAT) file from your hard drive stay cluttered making you lose half of your files?
There are some
years while it is copied important data files on floppy disks, recover some megabytes of programs was not
so serious.
Today, however, the implications of a small accident on the hard disk acquired astronomical proportions.
We are not
talking more disk drives with a few tens of megabytes in file, but hundreds.
A simple program that runs on
Windows can contain about 20 megabytes of files.
And with such a complex environment such as Windows, no program
there alone.
Each program for Windows installed will modify at least one of the files. INI Windows.
Furthermore,
many tricks you may have done on your system - from hidden parameters for a line driver device
that manages memory in CONFIG.SYS to improve the color scheme of Windows - things you no longer remember.
At the same time growing the need to back up the hard drive units with 200 megabytes or
become more abhorrent the idea of verbatim copies.
This situation has given rise to a new, cheaper and more appropriate
generation of backup tapes.
Priced around $ 500, these tapes are feasible even for those who have computers at home.
The advantage of being able to copy a gigabyte or more on a single tape further simplifies use even for hard
Larger hard.
Here's how they work internally both types of tape backup best known: the cartridge a quarter inch
(QIC) and digital audio tape (DAT).
