I had a Western Digital firewire drive fail several years ago. Lost quite a few photo files. I still use large firewire drives for storage, but I back up religiously to DVD. Important shots are backed up to two DVDs and a second drive. I still agonize over some of the work I lost. Fortunately, they were all scans, and I still have the negs -- somewhere. But now that I'm shooting digital, I'm extremely cautious. Paul
