I'm backing things up today.

I'm backing things up today. I'm backing up my "INCOMING" partition (containing software originals and updates, and other general downloads like textures, brushes, correspondence et al) to a 1TB external drive. I'm also backing up some very old external drives - so old that it's actually a hard drive in a case - with media files on them to a 2TB drive. And also, I'm going through my old CD and DVD backup disks (dating back to 1998) to another 1TB external drive.

With the last set, I should be able to fit most of the CDs (most of which contain digital photos) easily on the 1TB drive, and have more than enough space to backup my current set of images.

    Good! Now you will need a backup of the backups. :-)

    Laura Ess I was being a bit sarcastic because most home users don't backup data to tape but the banks do because the tape supposedly lasts far longer than the drive surfaces for long term data storage then it took my mind all the way back to the TI-994A I had hooked a cassette recorder to for storage LOL - i too need to do some backups and moves of data

    Ah, but I might have transcribed it from tape!

    A good idea.

    I learnt to do this, after the effect, when I lost my graphic novel to a dodgey disk. But it's taken until now for me to be organised about it.

    I turned paranoid when dual raids and a fifth hard drive all died at once due to +5 becoming +12. The only data I had was a single drive sitting on the shelf. That's why we have photos of the kids. Now I have multiple systems, offline storage, a safe, a NAS, and crash plan.
