I have just about finished organizing my pictures, documents, etc on my computer. After finishing I thought this would be a good time to backup my data. Usually I burn all of my data to DVD's and put one set in the safe deposit box, and the other in my local safe. In the past I have put my photo's on two DVD's, and my documents on one. My question is this, my data totals currently about 15GB that I would like backed up. I really like having the data in its raw format on the DVD's this way if 15 years down the road I find that I want/have to get some data off the disk I don't have to find the application I used to create the backup.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to an application that I can use to create backups that maintain my raw data and will allow me to span disks without having to do this manually? Also feel free to share how you are currently maintaining backups of your data, ie, just storing it on a external enclosure, etc... You may wonder why I don't just do it manually since I only backup about quarterly, but I will be doing this kind of thing on my parents, and other family machines that run Linux; I also would like to backup my personal music, and that could span many DVD's. -Matt Nelson /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
