Also, with the cost of USB Thumb (Flash Memory) drives, I'm now
recommending customers purchase a small size one and place financial
and other documents on one for storage in their bank's safety deposit
box. CD/DVD-R(W)s are fine expect that most lock boxes will not
accommodate their size, unless you use one of the Mini style disks.


R. McCarty:
We've recommended the same as well, but for relatively short-time backup
purposes. We've run into so many problems with defective memory drives that
become inoperable for reason or another we're reluctant to recommend them
for long-term archival storage purposes.
