    data backup solutions.....what is yours ?

    at a certain point the data (files) on my hard disk became of great value to me: my business documents, scripts, purchased content, design template etc etc.
    it's about 80 GB.
    until now I used to use an extra hard disk in another room which I plugged in every month and copy data there to backup.
    today I thought about a scenario of which the house burns down or something like that so the other disk will go down as well..... so putting the hard drive at a different place seemed smarter but carrying the backup hard drive around in the car from the the place I keep it to my computer might fuck it up.
    I thought about putting it online but I don't have a dedicated server and taking one just to store doesn't seem right to me.
    using some kind of online storage service ? might be a good idea....thing is - I don't trust anyone I don't know good enough to give my data...

    how do you backup your data ? or DO you ?

    floppies!

    lol. the way i always went about it was copy to remote drive weekly, then drive it to the bank vault. have multiple drives in circulation.

    there are a lot of online storage places, but uploading 80gb is not a lot of fun, and yeah, at the end of the day the reality is that you cannot trust them, a pissed off employee can do a lot of damage.

      doesn't driving a standard hard drive damage it severely ?

        Blind faith and a smoke alarm

        I do have a couple of DVDs with scripts and shit in another property - but content can always be replaced, just make sure you keep the licence safe.

        Its never happened, but I cant see that it would be a problem downloading non-exclusive content from another site if you have the licence to use it and ask nicely.

          I have a networked hard drive hidden in my wall. Just in case someone tries to rob me.

            I hope to soon be offering a service that would allow you clone your drive across the internet in real-time as the data changes. Check back in about two weeks and I'll know more then.

                    DVD RWs and encrypted HDs.

                    I've got two 150 GB HDs in different locations with data 2 weeks old.

                    I also have daily backups of emails, histories, and general progress on DVDs.
                    No sig.

                        There are many reputable offsite backup solutions, which I use as well. Listed below are a few of the many companies that do exactly what you’re looking for.

                        If you’re ever going to backup your data on media and take it off site, I recommend doing so with a REV drive from IOMEGA. Rev drives hold 30GB uncompressed and 70GB compressed. They are extremely small and personally I feel more comfortable dropping a REV disk versus a hard drive. Accidents happen, and that’s why we backup.
