Back-up Computer Storage

[Ah Pook]

Online storage will not work for him. Dial-up is a bitch.

Some of the online options are new to me but it sounds like the same answers I came up with. Nothing is forever. Dropbox looks interesting.

Thanks!

Optical Media (CD/DVD) is given a lifespan in the 30-100 year range if stored properly ( room temp low humidity in a case so on and so on handle as little as possible and store "off site" )....

I'm not sure you would need them to last much longer then that .. seeing as in 5 years or so you would probably change them to a newer better tech ( such as bluray or whatever comes next )

I have personally stored everything in my head. I do have a rental service if you are interested. Storage is somewhat limited. It does run at a premium price but unlike digital my mind can adapt. It is however subject to certain things such as alcohol, memory loss and other un-intended consequences due to life. If you are interested in purchasing long term storage in my mind please PM me.






glad this thread popped up, because I want to get some external storage for my documents and pictures and videos. byte sent me the newegg stuff but I am having a hard time getting around the cost. I think I would be happier with a 1tb or larger external drive and hope it holds out.

Don't be too much. We don't want to damage that long term memory.

Definitely want firewire capable. USB2 takes FOREVER. 25min v.s. 3hrs on my last back-up.
