Backing up word/excel files

My laptop has to go in for a new dvd drive and they will probably wipe everything!

What would i be able to use to back up my college work its mainly work docs - would a usb memory stick be okay for it?

thanks

There is no reason why they should wipe everything just to replace a DVD drive,in fact I doubt they will ,but you should still have a back in any case ..and yes, a usb pen would do if you can't use the dodgy DVD.if the pen is large enough copy the whole of "My Documents folder" if thats where you store them.

take the hard disk out before you send it off.

If you have an external hard disk or know anyone who has you could use this to back things up.

Just before Christmas I used a 1gb Flash Drive £14ish in Argos to move a load of Office/Outlook to my new comp - very easy
