By Dr Nick - Tue 29/03/05 01:15:08 GMT Am I the only one who, with all these sites offering DVD quality video am having problems finding enough storage space for them. I have now finally brimmed the 120Gb drive reserved for my wetlook, its not a problem to put in another drive but, as I have had two hard drives die recently, I would be devastated if my 9 years of wetlook disappears due to drive failure. Yes I know I should backup, but how do you back up 120Gb+. I started making a set of backup DVD's but with compression, checking and burning it was going to take longer than 24 hours (with me sitting changing 20+ disks), so this was abandoned after 3 disks. I suppose the other method is to either use another drive (250Gb)and use this for backups or raid two drives in mirror so if one goes there is always a second copy, but this can get costly in money and power (+noise) in the PC. So what does everyone else do???
