Russell, I've been shifting away CD and DVD backups except for making snapshots at critical project milestones and project closeout. Even with this practice I think I have enough archive CD's to build a house!
Instead of CD/DVD's I've been backing up to 2 online sites: 1. a backup folder on our hosted website (LunarPages.com) 2. StrongSpace.com, a secure only backup service ($9 for 4G space) And a set of rotating external USB drives (200G+). When I travel and am not connected to the internet or my external USB drives, I backup to a pair of rotating memory sticks I wear around my neck. Parnoid in NJ<g>, Malcolm BTW: While both my online backup sites are run by separate companies in seperate locations, both locations (as it turns out) are relatively near each other in California. It's on my to do list to find an another online backup service (or hosting firm) whose physical location is in another part of the country or world and preferably away from a major earthquake fault or active volcanos. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
