A very good friend of mine (fellow computer and HT geek) uses the most foolproof system I know of. He uses 2 hot-swap HDDs and keeps one in his safe deposit box.
Since his Studio is directly across the street from his bank, at least once per week he simply copies all of is data to the HDD, walks across the street and swaps it out for the other drive. This way he always has all of his data on his PC and on at least one removeable drive. Since he already pays for the box for storing his important papers, etc, there was only the added cost of a hot swap bay and 2 drives. I think he even writes off the cost of the safe deposit box on his taxes. I forget which brand of backup software he uses, but it does incremental and quickly adds new data or updates revised files. He says it does not take very long. I normally have a RAID3 server running in my house which is very safe. His method is about as safe as it gets. -- Jetlag ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jetlag's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1012 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18029 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
