Re: File Storage

I backup on CD, external HD and recently Carbonite. There are other online
backup systems but I just chose Carbonite. I have 15.7 gigs not including the
freebies and new designs I've purchased.I have a small fortune invested in
designs and I don't want to loose them.

according to what they are (i.e. horse design, humming birds etc)  the other
file is according to web site.  in a few more weeks i should have the specific
files all organized and then i plan on burning them also to cd's
