Lexx_Luthor 57 Posted July 2, 2011 (edited) 2GB for free? A 400GB internal hard drive costs maybe 40$. That's 20 cents for 2GB. So that's not quite "free" but... edit...can't get my maths right UK, you like tape drives, and so do I but I can't afford them as far as I know. Do any of these online data storage firms back up customer backup data to tape? Scott Mueller says newer very high capacity hard drives are not as reliable as older drives: They went too fast in ramping capacity basically. Thus, I suggest one or three lower capacity hard drives for backing up data. Alternatively, Scott suggests the "enterprise" hard drives, used on a lot of pro servers and stuff, but they run maybe 2x the price. I'm running one now and I think I'd like to get more because of some strange happenings in the past with regards to corrupted files. If ya'll can afford tape, do that. **** But, if the "kewl" factor of trusting some online source for backing up highly valued data is the only way to motivate CombatAce's chronically un~backed into BACKING UP, then I'm all for it.
