I don't get it, wouldn't a hard drive be far more susceptable to a catostrophic failure than a bunch of DVD disks? Im sure its more user friendly, but is it archival? jco

There are plenty of inexpensive external hard drives available for storage and backup. LaCie has a few, and NewEgg lists numerous drives as well. An external hard drive is, imo, an excellent choice for backing up your work. And they are pretty affordable these days compared to even a year ago. However, it might still be nice to have some things on DVD. When I get a few extra $$, I'll be opting for a large capacity external hard drive.
