Backup Philosophy: DVD's & HDD's?

Gerco · 06-29-2008

I have 3 external terabyte drives currently... 2 of which are mirrored, the 3rd is a backup for my other 3 computers., I also have an external drive that equals the size of the drive in any one of my machines, which is mirrored to the parent computer and bootable. (Just in case the internal drive fails, I'm still ready to go with a reboot).

I currently have about 400 Mini DV tapes of original content, and I'm working on duping them all. I would love to get a huge SANS.. but still out of my price range.

Pictures are saved on one of the mirrored external drives, and also dumped to dual layer DVD's.

I'm totally paranoid when it comes to backup..
