We've discussed it before, but what are you backup solutions?
I've never backed up and I've been lucky, but I keep hearing horror stories about losing years worth of stuff and frankly I'm becoming paranoid. To me there's a difference between backup and archive. I'm looking for both solutions. Backup, to me, is what can keep my current digital data from being lost by a mechanical failure and/or user error. Archive is the long-term backup. The 'keep this safe in case I need it in 5 years' kind of thing. I think I would prefer a local solution, as paying someone to store my files monthly seems kind of odd to me, though I guess I already basically pay flickr to store my archives of photos. Any opinions on Drobo? -------------------- Don't sweat the petty, pet the sweaty.
