You can't, floppies don't have that much storage space. You'll need to use a CD (probably more than one) or flash drive or something bigger like that.

this can be done although not on just one floppy disc

if you wanted to save say 10gb of information onto floppy disk, you can use microsoft backup which will back everything up and split all the data to the size of a floppy disk

since a floppy disc holds 1.44mb of data you would require 7112 floppy discs to back all of this data up (10gb is 10244mb of data to back up, 10244/1.44=7111.11R, unfortunatly you round the 0.11 up as it will require another disk so total number of disks required would be 7112)

please also note that this assumes that each of those 7112 disks have zero bad sectors on i, so it my take more disks that i have quoted

regular cd's hold typically 700mb so you would need 15 regular cd's to store your 10gb of data

use dvd's since they hold typically 4.7GB (some hold more)

so you would only need 3 dvd disks to backup 10gb

or why not just get another hard disk, since you only need 1 of them, and can store lots more data on it in the future

1.44 mb is the capacity of a floppy, that is not enough to save a good quality picture

The only way is if you have a MAC or PC from about 25 years ago.

you don't. At best, you might be able to fit onto a DVD, but only if you don't have much stuff.
