Yes, you are correct. It is advisable to back up your important files to CD or DVD media disks. I was referring to the use of external hard drives that connect to your computer via USB or Firewire connections. In other words - I use the external hard drive as a redundant backup of the contents of my computer's main hard drive (in my case Drive: C:). That way if there is a hard drive crash or catastrophic computer system failure, I can remove the external hard drive from the damaged computer and connect it to another computer via the USB connection to continue working with the most recent files that I had been working on. I should also mention that the reason I use external hard drives for backup is because I work on individual files that usually exceed the 4.7GB storage limitations of a DVD media disk. Hi Jacqueline,

Wouldn't you need to insert a disc or other device to back up onto? If the memory of whatever is contained in your computer is just double saved on your computer, if you lose your computer or if it crashes or whatever, you haven't saved anything. ??
