deleting backup files

[Shmuel Wolfson]

While we are on the subject of external drives, I recommend the laptop 
size external drives. They require a low enough amount of power that 
they can be powered by the USB itself. No need for a power cord. I find 
that to be very convenient. (Check the specs to make sure that they 
don't require external power.)
