For users without a tape drive, BackupAssist can perform backups to a backup file (with the .bkf extension). This backup file can be saved to a hard drive, DVD/CD, USB Memory Stick, USB Hard Drive or Network Storage Device, enabling users to perform their backups using BackupAssist when a tape drive is unavailable With the advent of USB 2.0 and storage devices like external hard drives, a removable USB hard drive for backup is becoming more and more a prevalent option for backup software users, particularly when one considers the greater costs and lack of upgradeability and complex management and maintenance involved in utilizing a tape drive backup solution.
