Infinite Disk, operating in the background, automatically compresses less-active files and eventually migrates them to removable media, but the files remain visible in Windows folders and, when accessed, are fetched from the backup storage.
A variant of Infinite Disk, Personal Archiver, was bundled with Iomega removable drives starting in November 1994.[http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0EIN/is_/ai_15890201 Business Wire, Nov 4, 1994] {{Archive url|url=https://archive.today/20120708053719/http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0EIN/is_1994_Nov_4/ai_15890201/|date=July 8, 2012}}
