Hi all:
I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I am having a dilema. Backup of daily working files is not the problem; I have a 750GIG external hard drive (USB), and Synchback backup software--it is excellent. My problem is long tem storage. Initally I used CDs (one on site, the other off site), then DVDs, and now Blu-Ray disks. I use Nero to burn the Blu-Rays, as it allows data addition to previously burned disks. But lately I have had print orders from older stuff, and the Blu-Ray disks were "unreadable or corupted". This meant I had to retrieve the backup disk, and then copy it for reundancy. With 1TB external drives becoming relatively inexpensive, I have been considering buying pairs, and storing each file twice. I would have "external drive #1", and "external drive #1 backup". When these were filled I would buy 2 more. They would become "external drive #2" and "external drive #2 backup" etc.
Anyone use this method? How has it worked out?"
Thanks in advance.
