flash memory as backup

Dec 19, 2006 1:23AM PST

I am using a 2GB flash memory for backup. I am able to send financial info to backup but have not figured out how to backup digital photos. Does anyone have a suggestion of how or a resource I can use to find out how to do it?

I am using XP. I use Picasa2 and still have a Camedia progran as well.

Remember that backup will have more than 1 copy.

A crucial misstep for some is they put in their backup media and the virus wipes it out and they don't have the other copy to save the day. Even a nickel CDR could suffice.

As to photos, one only need to find the .JPG files and copy them as well from Explorer. Since this is your machine, you need to know where you put them.

just go to search and type in the name of one of your pictures and you should be able to find the folder with your pictures pretty easily.

Thanks. I didn't make my question very clear. What I am looking for is a way to batch groups of pictures rather than one at the time. Is there a way to send an entire folder of pictures at one process as opposed to one photo at the time?
