hello, i've been reading this interesting thread from the first post, here's my small contribution. Some of you guys know much more than i do and i think that if i should follow some advice given here ( scripts for mirroring or else) i would loose all my collection before i clearly understand what's going on. So here's my way of doing: when i have ripped or downloaded about 4.4 GB of data, i burn it to a DVD-R (100 dvds= 440 GB for 50 Euros) and put it in the HDD used for playing the music. When this HDD is full, i make a copy on a usb drive to save me the pain of using the dvds. I don't need incremental backup because i don't change anything in the files. When i begun, 8 years ago, all i used was MP3, and saved on CD-Rs. A HDD died later and i had to reload a hundred CD-Rs to a new disk, it was a little boring but i did not lose any music, and it reinforced my feeling that HDDs are not to be trusted, even if nothing bad has happened since.
