Floppy disks are an unreliable storage device. They are cheap and highly susceptible to damage from spills, dust, heat, fingerprints, moisture, magnetic fields, and age. At some point, all floppy disks will fail. If your disk fails, you may LOSE all of the information on the disk (trust us; it happens all the time). NEVER use a floppy disk to store the ONLY copy of a file.Always save at least 2 copies of every file in different locations. This is the ONLY way to truly protect yourself from losing your important files.
