I am a nerd without money - I have 3 drives 2 that live offsite. 6gb humble spinny drives. Everything that's important to me gets copied to these drives- I'm not using any fancy software - its a cut and paste job from a few Linux laptops and a desktop. I still have all my original wav file and games backup from 1998 with this method ( though then they were on 10 zip discs ) It just takes a little due diligence to back up your data.
I salute you for having offsite backups. That's the mark of someone doing it right.
god zip drives were so cool
Until you got the click of death. - happened to me.. luckily even back then I had a copy. Get your friends to host a copy of your stuff offsite and offer to do the same for them. We even share a drive of music we send around every couple years. Everyone benefits.
