Hey M-F
Some of you may have seen a few posts in the bar 'n' grill associated with this question but could do with some more opinions on it.
I currently back up my data to a mybook 250gb external HDD. This backup includes everything in the documents area. (Documents, Pictures, Music, Movies)
I have quite a lot of photography work on there (library is nearing 1000 at the moment) and Also have a lot of music projects on there for paid jobs as well as coursework in preperation for university.
With me going to university in september, I know my projects list will grow a lot more, and will begin to contain more and more stuff that I cant afford to loose.
Now backing it up to my external HDD is obviously a logical thing to do but I still dont feel very safe knowing that everything is backed up on just one device.
I could go onto optical (CD/DVD) but not only would that be a VERY long process, it could also proove to be quite costly.
Is a second HDD mirrored like the first one perhaps a good idea?
Any other suggestions? Am i over-reacting?
Cheers everyone
