The biggest difference is capacity. At 100 MB/disk (250 on new models),
Zip disks are often convenient for backing up a PROJECT, but not very
effective for backing up a 2/4/8/16 GB hard drive -- a device in the 1 - 4 GB
range (includes the Jaz) is much more practical for this.
[I have Zip drives on four or five separate computers, in order to move
files between them. I have a 4GB tape drive on the network for hard drive
backups.]
