Shraddhan, The Syquest would work great for your fonts etc. What you have to do is have enough room on your hard drive or RAM: to hold the data for a particular project. You can change the Syquest carts anytime so all you need is a handy spot to put the data when it happens to be on two (or more) carts. One caution though – you MUST format and partition all your syquest carts. exactly the same! I then use rename to give each one a unique name so I can keep them straight. I keep about 40megs free on my HD for when what I need is on a different cart. Syquest is cost effective as a HD replacement (it gets cheaper per unit the more carts you buy) but not as a backup solution. Patrick
