I have tons of music saved on a jaz ssci drive that i created on the classic mpc 2000 and need to back up immediately. you know how you get that feeling somethings going to happen? i just dont wanna take no chances..the thing is im concerend about how to do it, as in the pass due to Windows operatings systems i lost everything in which the names were longer then i believe 9 characters..Cant afford for that to happen again..any suggestions or alternative methods for backing up...Any help would be appreciate. thanks

Save it onto a new jaz disk. I use floppies and i usually back it up to like 4 floppies so if one stops i can go to he next floppy disk. I do that very often cause those disks sometimes have a mind of their own.

Unless you have scsi card in your computer. You can hook up the jazz drive to the computer and send files to the pc.

"Iomega Corporation, a leader in smart, portable storage solutions, announced its new SCSI-to-Universal Serial Bus (USB) adapter for its Jaz 1GB and 2GB drives. The Jaz USB adapter will be available at an estimated street price of $79.95."

For some people, that's an expensive price to pay, but I guess it's really all up to you. You have to ask yourself, is all of your data on your Jaz disks worth it?
