External HD

Years ago I lost hours of work... well no dvd at that time and my cd burner was at the end of its short life.
When I was burning cd's all seemed right at the moment. I could see those bastards were well burned.

Hhhh no! several months later, every cds were badly broken from the start... less than half data were saved from this defective burner :evil:

NO worry though, I was hardly making backups in any sense [moreover after this episode]
Ha at least one lovely project was lost... one big lesson :oops:

I just dump it all to an external hard drive and call it a day

I use a RAID level 5 array to backup everything up. I also periodically backup files to DVD.

External raid mirror for all my working files etc.

Finished masters also go on this drive and also get archived online with www.mozy.com
