I go with external USB2 drives. I have over a terabyte and a half (1,500
GB) for both images and video.
I have one 60GB drive that is very small (laptop drive). Weekly I backup my
key images to it and keep it out of the house. What's the point in copies
if they all burn up together?
My 'media machine', an inexpensive Dell, is the backup server for our entire
house. I use a shareware product called SyncBack that is perfect. I have
at least two, and in some cases three, copies of every digital image that i
have.
