For the media which is the bulk of my storage I don't worry about backing up much. While it would be a pain to restore DVDs to a 1TB drive, it's not worth it for me to do Raid or anything:<BR/>DVD's: I have the physical media so that's my backup<BR/>Music: I run a command-line backup nightly to another networked PC<BR/>Photos: same as music<BR/>Home Movies: same as music<BR/>Anything else doesn't get backed up.Brent Evanshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11336719205371313266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11976697.post-54671199687828673692008-07-14T12:55:00.000-05:002008-07-14T12:55:00.000-05:002008-07-14T12:55:00.000-05:00I'm curious how you deal with that amount of stora...I'm curious how you deal with that amount of storage and your requirements around acceptable data loss.

It's interesting to see the HTPC features they have been adding. For example the QNAP TS-409 includes UPnP/DLNA suppport and an iTunes server. I'm wondering how well they work.Bryannoreply@blogger.com
