Q.
I’ve got 2 files of
MS Outlook emails which are of 1GB each. How do I backup of
those files?
CDs are maximum 700MB. So is there any other way I can back up
those files in a place other than My PC.
A.
DVDs can hold 4.8 GB worth of data (some can even hold 9.6 GB), but you would
need a
DVD Burner drive to be able to store data on a DVD. There are some 1 - 2
GB Thumb Drives (or USB Drives or whatever else they are called), but they can
get somewhat expensive.
You could try using a compression program, such as WinZip (available at
http://www.winzip.com),
to reduce the size of the file. Also, some of the compression programs have the
ability to "zip across media", which means you could create a single file across
multiple disks/CDs/DVDs. That would be the cheapest way for you to go.
Let me know if you need anything else.
