Speaking profesionally, i back up to dvd (2 copies of each). While an external HD is great for stuff you still want to work with, it is still a hard drive which can fail.

Just like a DVD can get dropped and smashed into a million peices when you flip it out of the case :wink:
I usually backup to another HDD, but also a DVD/CDR depending on the Qty of data. 40Gb+ you really need to consider a HDD to copy to and from.
Quite silly really we now have hard drives reaching 300Gb+ for around 100 notes, yet nothing really to back up that quantity of data effeciently.

I downloaded and watched the Christmas edition of Myth Busters yesterday and one myth was that CD's have shattered inside a drive whilst spinning up. I've tried to snap these and it takes some bending before they go, so I though who they kiddin'.
They clamped a disc in an angle grinder and at 3000 rpm they disintigrate :shock: :shock: well I never. Beware of the spinning CDR :wink:
