i have 2 internal HD's.. can i completely re-install os-x without touching the second HD, ie using it as a backup HD?

(Jan 22 05, 18:31)You should be able to, but my personal experience is with an external. I've done exactly this in my PC, though. During set up you'll be asked to which drive OSX should be installed, just like when you run a program installer.

hey janne.
didint read the posts above...
but eh i wouldnt buy one of 500 giga bytes...ive got a 120 and a 250 gigabyte..if you work with motion its u must.i use the 250 for zrchiven my AE projects and the final renderd mov's.
the 120 is use for working on so my powrbook hd stays nice clean empty and thus faster.

damn, i better get me a faster dvd writer then.. i don't want another 18 hours of burning DVD's at 1x speed..

Also, using DVDs is a good idea in that you can keep them off-site. Comes in handy in those worst case scenario situations, like fire or burglary.

I have a 250 gig external and have not come near filling it up.
But the reason is...I burn DVDs also for safe keeping. DVDs are much more safe than a Harddrive.
Use DVDs for archiving things.. backing up everything.
Pretty much its smart to not have all your files just on your HD.
If you back up regularly 300 gigs should be plenty

yeah, but apart from that.. there's pieces and models for the intro animation and shit.. guess i have to weed it out all by myself.. :/
but thx for the advice!

Hmmm the media manager in final cut works great, not sure about dvd studio though...

damn, i have a DVD project folder with so many files.. it's like over 37 GB (!) of resources for only one 20 minute video..
i am not sure what files i can throw away and which not.. :/
i hate thse sort of dilemma's..
but like hell i am going to burn like 10 dvd's at one speed for that shit!!

ha! nice description!!!

i've known of many external hard drives that have gone kaput. including my 300 dollar 40 gig one. :/
i believe you have to treat them like babies made of egg shell or something.
maybe investing in server space is less risky?
