Please Share Your MultiMedia Storage Strategies?

I'm using a similar strategy, except that the external USB/FW hard
drive is of the type with removable chasis. As such, it was $80 for
the original drive, and the trays are around $15 per drive (and ~5
minutes to assemble), plus the cost of the IDE drive.

At present, IDE 250GB drives are around $100, so the initial setup cost
would be a bit over $400, and it would allow a 3-tier rolling backup
strategy. At your estimated fill rate of 100GB per year, this will
hold you for the next two years.

Whenever you run out of capacity, you can just add another triplet of
trays and drives and go from there.

I suppose I am old fashioned but I backup to tape, dds5.
I rotate media, storing 2 or 3 off site.

Hope this helps.

I suppose I am old fashioned, I backup to DAT72 tape. I use a
rotating system and store 2 or 3 backups off site.

Hope this helps.
