Old hard drives as backup

[Sophrosyne]

You can image those. I have tons of my old floppies from games that I can mount and use.

I abandoned the 1.2Mb 5.25 inch floppy format about 13 years ago and didn't install a 3.5 inch floppy in my newly built computer back then figuring a backup computer with a floppy would suffice I could use it to either burn it to a CD/CDRW/DVD etc. I have hundreds of DVD/R and CD/R and RW discs that I have not used in over 8 years now. The last time I used a DVDRW was to backup when my hard drive was failing and I couldn't manage a drive to drive backup.
