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. -hh |

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