back up 8 gigs?

[0div0]

I want to raid two 30 gig drives, but currently one of them is my primary drive with 8 gigs of info that I absolutely cannot lose. Is there any easy way that I can back up my data? I have an rw but it'll take 12 700mb discs to back up all my info! If I don't back it up the data will be lost when I raid the drive, right? Any GOOD compression tools that'll save me 7 gigs?

just buy 12 CD-R and burn it all. Should'nt cost you too much.

Regarding the compression it really depends of what kind of data you have. If it's all MP3 then no compression.
