A pair of Buffalo USB external device my wife is going to alternatively take to work with her every Monday and bring home every Friday for backing up over the weekend. We hope that is secure enough. I await with impatience Blu-Ray coming down in price (haven't checked prices for ages now come to think of it) for an extra backup. More and more of our stuff that takes any space is static like photos and videos we want to keep of family stuff mightily boring to anyone else no doubt, but means that if blu-ray disks are getting cheap enough then a couple of them burnt for the static material would be enough insurance I hope. Must put pressure on wife and kids to select down the amount of not so good photos and videos so we keep a more highly qualitative set for the static "reserve"... at the moment the digital cameras mean they are still way to snap-happy and footage-foolish. Seems like a different eon when we used to worry about fitting our theses drafts with embedded tables etc onto a floppy drive and having enough room... now documentation is utterly trivial in terms of capacity of media! -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
