Make the most of your Zip drive. Use Zip disks to:
1. Extend your hard disk (hard disk upgrade alternative).
Are you constantly running out of hard disk space? Your Zip drive and disks give you unlimited storage for all your information. By placing files on Zip disks, you have ready access to them without filling up your hard disk. Zip Tools software will help you find any files you need, and Zip drive's hard-disk-like performance will let you access information quickly.
2. Move information.
Do you need to move information between different work locations? Between home and work? To and from clients? Your Zip drive and disks offer complete mobility. Zip disks fit in a shirt pocket; your Zip drive is easy to carry and quick to set up. The Guest program allows you to use your Zip drive temporarily almost anywhere.
3. Back up your hard disk.
Your Zip drive makes backups fast and simple. You don't need special backup software just copy critical files to a Zip disk. Copying is lightning fast, and you end up with an exact duplicate of your original files. If you need to restore a file, simply copy it back to your hard drive, or just access it directly from the Zip drive.
4. Create a multimedia library (images, sounds, and video).
Because of their high capacity, removability, and random access, Zip disks are ideal for storage-hungry image, sound, and video files. Clips can come from a variety of sources, including scanners, CD-ROMs, and video input devices. You can create and store multimedia presentations and demonstrations, including video, that you can replay directly from the Zip disk.
5. Archive your important records.
Do you need to keep files for a number of years? Archive your valuable files on a Zip disk and store them in a safe place. Whenever you need them, you can access them quickly.
6. Get organized.
If you work on lots of different projects or with many different clients, try segmenting your work onto different disks. You can organize your information by project, client, date, or whatever. Zip disks give you the capacity to get all associated files onto a single disk. Then,
switching between projects and customers is as simple as inserting another Zip disk.
7. Secure sensitive files.
To keep sensitive or confidential information safe, store it on a Zip disk and use your Zip Tools software to assign a password that must be used in order to read from or write to the disk. At work, you can protect sensitive information such as personnel files, company directories, and product plans and designs. At home, you can secure personal information such as tax records, budgets, and computerized checkbooks.
