Re: tape
by Chris Borjis on Nov 4, 2009 at 5:21:03 pm

While tape is the best method for backing up....

There really is nothing wrong with backing up to hard drives.
(I've worked in the computer industry 10 years prior to doing post work and have first hand experience)

If you want extra protection get an external drive with 2 internal
drives and set them up for mirroring.

I have several hard drives (not work related) that are over 15 years old that come online
any time I plug them in.

I know some folks have had trouble with drives from time to time, but honestly, unless
the drive is physically destroyed you will almost always be able to retrieve it
no matter what happens.

If you can afford a tape backup solution go for it, but I wouldn't be too worried
about backing up to hard drives. lots of people do. and lots of people don't back up
at all and still stay out of trouble, though thats pretty dangerous.
