Floppies are usually used as backup media. If you don't have a
|
|
tape drive connected to your system, floppy disks can be used (although
|
|
they are slower and somewhat less reliable).
|
|
<P>
|
|
You may also use floppies to hold individual filesystems---in this way,
|
|
you can <b>mount</b> the floppy to access the data on it.
