Hi Jim, Right. If your SD card ever gets full you can always pull it out and replace it with a new one. So I don't think your recorder can ever be totally full unless you are limiting yourself to one SD card. Anyway, it is always a good idea to make as many backups as possible. that is to make ba

Hi Charles, Yeah, my digital recorder has a SD card slot, so I guess that I would never run out of space right? I know that this sounds a bit anal, but I have two tera byte drives that both have both computers backed up on them which includes all of my source code files, but then I also have

Good points. Also, an inexpensive cassette recorder and a blank tape can also be used. I'm thinking of ways to store the important info that does not need a computer to access. Braille was the first thing to come to my mind, because I am a braille user. (Sent from my iPhone) On Jul 15, 2013

Hi Charles, While I agree with you in principle do remember not everyone has the ability or the means to produce braille these days. For example, I have a braille writer, but it is broken, and has been broken for quite a long time now. The reason I never sent it in for repairs is it would cost mo

Getting back on topic, I keep game registration information in braille. Hard copy braille will not be corrupted by any computer virus. I believe, although I may be wrong on this, but all game developers suggest that you do something like this for secure storage of game key info. (Sent from my

Windows defender is good for spyware, but its no anti virus. You should get something like MSE from Microsoft, its free and does work better than most of the unaccessible paid ones do. Flash drives are good for personal stuff. You can keep them safe, only connect them when needed and can take th

Hi Lindsay, The best way to save your keys is to back them up on some sort of external media. These days thumb drives, flash cards, etc are relatively in expensive. Depending on where I go I can get a cheap 8 GB flash card for like $10 which is pretty cheap. That's assuming you have a flash card
