    Depends a lot on the quality of the stick. I have some that have worked well for years, and had others that failed after just a few writes. You’ll probably be fine, but probably isn’t good enough for a critical backup.

        I wouldn’t even say that. Flash drives are good as temporary storage for copying/sharing files, or for stuff you need on hand (like a Linux boot stick), but I’d never include them as part of a backup system.
