Re: What do you download?

But then I'll need a backup for the backup to make sure, so it's either buy a house or the 2 backup units.

Hmmm... (/think)

I'm sure there's a moral right there. Too bad I don't know what it is or where. :sad:

Re: What do you download?

You can get 320GB tapes. There are 1u automount tape systems that can handle 1.6TB and bigger ones that can handle more.

It only costs a small fortune.

I have a 2TB firewire HD and I paid $600 for it. You don't need the best and the brightest for storage purposes...at least I didn't think I did.

Ya, you can get cheaper ones, or DiY, but they never look anywhere near as good.

Re: What do you download?

Another thing I do is fill a HD and then put it in storage. I keep the original shipping and just repack it and put it on a shelf. I used to burn my anime but became over run with floppys/cds/dvds so now I just leave it on the hd and store that.

This is where the "if I could" part comes in. I can't use peapod since I don't live in a major metro area. They don't deliver to the boonies. ;_;

Why don't you just go all out and get an automated Silo?

Re: What do you download?

Mhurron, is tape even cheaper than magnetic drives anymore? Let alone cost effective when you count the cost of buying the drive?
------------------------------------------
On a side note, I've been inside one of those tape archive silos before some number of years ago.

Of course you could take this as an opportunity to mock me for going in to Take Your Daughter to work day. But that HQ was still kickass.
