Yeah, I've just gotten a 256Mb keyring one which is sort of the shape of a
highlighter pen but literally half the size. Windows 2000/ME/XP pick it up
and add it as a drive straight away, no drivers needed. I've been cheeky and
formatted it as a NTFS compressed drive so I could get more than 256Mb onto
it depending on the type of data. I'm just going to put FPW, the various
Pegasus utilities and other stuff onto it and take it out to site, much
easier than messing around with zip drives even. It's even possible to
install an OS on them and boot from them if your motherboard supports it!!

Are these the things that plug into a USB port and pretend to be hard
drives? A friend has been raving about them to me recently if so. They look
very handy.

Alan
If a quick and dirty backup is what you're after, why not just get them to
spend EUR50 or so on a USB memory stick and avoid the spanning altogether?
Just a thought ...
