Or install a redundant hard drive...CompUSA had a sale on 200GB 7200 RPM
ATA hard drives for $89 this week, I bought four! So that's:
200/$89 = .45/GB and much faster and easier to manage than DVDs...Only
have a laptop? You can get firewire/USB enclosures for $29.
I find that backups are easier (and that means I'll actually do them)
from HDD to HDD.
