Question by Cute Nerd: What is the best space saving format for saving files that will be backed up to a external HD?
I’ve slowly began the process of converting all my paper files from my file cabinet onto to my notebook and shredding the paper. I’ve been saving everything to my notebook C drive but plan on purchasing a 320GB or higher external HD within the next month. Currently saving everything as a .gif. Should I switch to .rtf .pdf? Am I going to have trouble if I need to retrieve later on?

Gif is just fine. It’s a common picture format which is fine to save to an external hard drive.
