Capacity: 1,44 MB (3-inch disc), 1.2 MB (5-inch disc)
Problems: There can be saved only low capacity files! To make backups for all files you need hundreds of floppy discs! Sometimes they just broken and all information on them lost!
*Zip Disc
Similar to a floppy disc, but slightly larger. Cannot be used in the same slot that is used for floppies, and also higher capacity Zip discs must be used in a drive with at least the same capacity ability.
Capacity: 100MB - 750MB
Problems: Discs are inconvenient for use because there are different size of discs and also different size of disc drive! They also not so diffuse as other storage devices!
*CD-RW
Short for CD-ReWritable disc, a type of CD disc that enables you to write onto it in multiple sessions. CD-RW media can only be written in a CD-RW recorder, not in a simple CD recorder, though a CD-RW recorder can also record standard CD-R discs.

Capacity: 128MB - 8GB
Problems: Because of there size USB flash is easy to misplace! Keep this device with backup copies in safe and, for you, well known place.
*Removable Hard Disc
A type of disc drive system in which hard disc are enclosed in plastic or metal cartridges so that they can be removed like floppy discs. Removable disc drives combine the best aspects of hard and floppy discs. They are nearly as capacious and fast as hard discs and have the portability of floppy discs.
Capacity: up to 20GB
Problems: All information are saved to one device, so if something bad happen with this one device, all information also is endangered! So better make more than one backup copy.
All devices have some problems, but if backup copies are make in right way and after that keep in safe place, you have really good chances recover your information in emergency condition!!!
