Floppy disks are vulnerable, can easily damage, and do not last forever. Care should be taken as follows:

• Don’t allow them to come into contact with heat, dust, magnetic fields or electrical appliances.
  
• Do not keep all of your backup disks together in one place.
  
• Do not continually use one disk as disks do wear out! One high density disk can store a lot of text related documents, but it is best to make several copies of your work on separate disks.
  
• It is best to use Windows Explorer or My Computer in Windows to copy files to floppy disks rather than application software such as your word processing or spreadsheet programs.
