Do you all save it every few days and date it and then after awhile, remove the older data or how do you work saving it on the little flash drive? I save it every time I make any significant changes (uhh, I guess I consider any change significant) that I do not want to type in again. I like using a date as part of the file name and I do clean up older files when I know my new backups are safe. I do have a tendency to over save stuff because I often make CD's of my old files before I delete them. I figure that storing a few CD's as backups is a really cheap safety measure. Alan B.
