There's a sale this weekend on USB removable flash drives. Many shops will buy one of these for every day of the week and use them as part of their daily backup routine. (as an alternative to floppy drives, dat, or zip disks). Meaning: a rotation of 7 drives, if you are open 7 days/week.
Most POS systems have very low space requirements for backups(1-4mb), so you often won't need a very large device. Check your current backups or vendor to see the size that is right for you. In most cases, the smallest one should do the trick if you are just backing up data. Keep in mind that POS backups usually just copy the data, and not the programs or your personal documents such as Quickbooks or MY COMPUTER files. A full/comprehensive backup routine is also important to get everything else.
OfficeMax online or in person has the MEMOREX TRAVEL DRIVES on sale, with no rebate.
