arent the mp3s already the backups of your cds?

 

[Kelemvor]

I was just thinking about that last night. I just started ripping my CDs (<100) so I don't htink I'm much over 10-15 gigs. Oh well. But of course my old Home Audio PC doesn't have a burner on it so I'll have to dump them over the network to my main PC before I could burn them. heh.

I can fit all the music I ever listen to in just over 5GB...

I gave up on backing up to hardcopy. Just went out and bought another drive.

Wouldn't PATA drive backup be easier?

One drive failure = lots of data gone. One dvd failure = only 4.7 gigs gone.

I think the small cost investment wins out over the immense time investment of burning that many discs.

One drive failure, in any correctly implemented array = zero data gone. One dvd failure = only 4.7 gigs gone.

Corrected, for accuracy.

i don't have a spare 120 gb drive sitting around, do you?

I do. My 177 GB of SCSI is for the day to day stuff. I use the Maxor 120 GB (8 M buffer) just for backing stuff up for long term storage.

 

[shimsham]

my music backup fits on one cdr.

 

[Electric Amish]

There's no way that half of that music is even worth listening to.

My music collection would take about 7 DVDs, but if I were to delete some stuff that I don't listen to, it'd be closer to 5 DVDs.
