Being on the other side of the world and all...

I'd best store it upside down :)

Walkabout - that was the one where that rude gentleman sacrified a VW Beetle (and himself) wasn't it? Still haven't seen more than the first 20 minutes of it. (One of these days, etc, etc)

I guess the other approach I could have to backing up is to mini-Napsterise it. Ok, Distribute is the word I'm looking for. Store a bit of the collection on each of the PCs around the place, so if one does go titsup.com, at least I'll only have lost a chunk of the collection. The single-drive-on-a-shelf is much more environmentally sound, though.

On and on and on and on,
and on and on and on goes John.

Looking to buy a CD-R or something for backups. - (marlowe) - (23) - Dec. 7, 2001, 02:58:39 PM EST

Sounds like you need a backpack CD-R - (Silverlock) - Dec. 7, 2001, 03:16:16 PM EST

Just ordered one for my dad. - (Another Scott) - Dec. 7, 2001, 04:03:47 PM EST

Flash: backups story, tape at 11 - (kmself) - (20) - Dec. 8, 2001, 08:53:38 PM EST

I've got a bad attitude against tape. - (marlowe) - (10) - Dec. 10, 2001, 12:49:34 PM EST

Internals are really cheap. - (Another Scott) - Dec. 10, 2001, 01:31:28 PM EST

That's not SCSI. DAT / DDS - (kmself) - Dec. 10, 2001, 10:21:02 PM EST

DDS will live forever :-) - (pwhysall) - Dec. 11, 2001, 02:47:55 AM EST

Cheapness of CD/RWs - (Ashton) - (4) - Dec. 11, 2001, 03:23:00 AM EST

What's the shelf-life of hard disks? - (Meerkat) - (3) - Dec. 11, 2001, 07:38:56 PM EST

Sounds sane to me. - (Ashton) - (1) - Dec. 11, 2001, 09:40:57 PM EST

If you want a good CD-RW... - (inthane-chan) - Dec. 17, 2001, 02:23:35 PM EST

Interesting. - (static) - (8) - Dec. 11, 2001, 05:58:23 PM EST

My impression is avoid OnStream, but others may know more - (tonytib) - (5) - Dec. 11, 2001, 08:58:01 PM EST

AIT is really expensive. - (static) - Dec. 12, 2001, 12:38:43 AM EST

OT: No good info, only responding - (broomberg) - (3) - Dec. 15, 2001, 07:43:38 PM EST

BTW, did you see that Exabyte bought Ecrix? - (tonytib) - (2) - Dec. 15, 2001, 09:42:23 PM EST

So, the question now is: - (Andrew Grygus) - (1) - Dec. 15, 2001, 11:11:16 PM EST

Well, Exabyte has already added Ecrix products to their site - (tonytib) - Dec. 15, 2001, 11:48:04 PM EST

OnStream has real problems. - (Andrew Grygus) - (1) - Dec. 11, 2001, 11:07:44 PM EST

Thanks. - (static) - Dec. 12, 2001, 12:39:21 AM EST
