Audio edits take huge amounts of space, and I haven't found a Goldwave clone for Linux yet. I'm doing fine with my 2 40GB drives operating as an 80GB. If it makes you feel any better, they are IBM Deathstars- a 60GXP and a 120GXP.
Audacity?
How do you lose data on a CDRW?? Anyway, you should be able to find a decent tape drive for under $350.Anyway, i'd recommend against using
volitile media as backup storage. All it takes is a mechanical failure
to lose your backups. Depending on how much data you need to backup,
you could go with something as simple as CDRW's, or a tapes. Sure, you'll need to purchase a tape drive if you've got a very
significant amount of data, but its still the most dependable, scalable
backups methods around.
I usually keep around 10-20GB per OS around (and no, I can't lose the audio files under WindeXP). You'd recommend CDRW's? I've lost more data from them than from these two hard disks. What sort of prices would I be looking at with tape? Anything above, say, $300-$350 is just way too much.
