    1TB External hard drives are like $100 these days. Save yourself the pain and headache of burning mass DVDs to cover your data, and just throw it on an external drive and shelf it till solid states are that cheap then repeat.

    I have old cd's and dvds that I used for backups and it blows my mind how many of them have data errors, or somehow miraculously got scratched, or just forgotten somewhere because there are just too many versions of a file to keep track of, etc.

    Important stuff gets backed up via dropbox between my 2 computers. Dated / archived stuff gets thrown on a usb drive and filed that way.

    • Yeah. I already do this plus DVD back ups of certain shit.dopepope
