want to use USB flash drive for long-term back-up of small files which will be frequently updated. Good idea?



Thanks in advance for your input.

    It works for me--I back up my bank data and several Excel spreadsheets and some photos on a 1GB flash--



    So far, I've had no problems.

    Just treat the USB drive as if it's a stick of notebook RAM and it should last a very long time. Whatever you do, do not carry the USB drive around on your keychain.
