Floppies are very unreliable media, they are sensitive to heat and magnetic interference from any number of common sources that you will pass by/through in a given day. Use USB storage keys and/or CDR's as alternatives for floppies whenever possible. You might also consider using online storage sites instead of portable media anyway, nothing to carry and nothing to corrupt locally.

floppy is an old device and nowadays the manufactures are neglecting is because of other modern equipments. That is the reason that todays floppies have become very unreliable due to non-standard drives and non-standard floppies flushing the market . Whereas during 1984 to 1995 90% of the backups were done using floppies and none of them have failed.

Are you moving it between several machines? And if so are they similar machines, Floppy Drives the same? Corruption happens allot from age, and dissimilar drives.

I have a floopy many years and it's like new but if you are using everyday it is to happen. Go with flash.
