pictorial representation of backup?

[chris_bcn]

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this. I'm a web guy so I naturally gravite to here!

I'm re-designing an intranet site at the moment, and I'm in the process of making the icons for it. I need a pictorial representation of backup - any ideas?


a DLT tape?
a hard drive?
2 hard drives?
erm...
:confused:

How about a woman lying on her stomach? (get it? Back UP!). Ok, ok, I'll leave quietly. **slinks away in ignominy**



I'd go with the tape drive.

lol @ Joe.

How about an arrow pointing from a computer to an external hard drive? Sorry... I'm not feeling immensely creative at the moment. :o

I liek the first suggestion - not sure how well it will go down though :-)

Tape drive is hard to draw in pixels. Well, hard to make it clear that it's a tape drive, but I think that's probably the best one

I like the two drives with an arrow.

me neither! What about Procedure - I need an icon for that too for a section on procedures in the IT dept. i'm leaving for my xmas holidays tomorrow so my brain really isn't engaging!

that's no way to get sympathy! :p

a checklist on a clipboard?

Even if I say I'm going to Frankfurt, Madrid, Barcelona, and then to my parents in Newcastle... I still don't get symapthy :D I can't wait!

Checklist/clipboard - perfect - Thanks! I can't believe they expect me to do work today. It's just rude if you ask me

chris, did you get your icon buffet delivery? There's nothing in there that would help, just wanted to see if it worked. lol

[chris_bcn]

I did - thanks so much. Very cool icons!

I should use them in this project - just to see what the powers that be would say. It would make me laugh anyway!

I see that different icon sets go out each month, so I'll deliver any different ones to you
