Im talking about if your backup drive fails, usually that will be the largest drive of all your drives, if it does fail then you still have your info on your os drives but have to go and buy another backup drive.

Dvd's may not be ideal but what i would consider to be a good backup solution would be a blu-ray recorder. At the minute they hold upto 50 gigs for movies, for a recordable blu-ray its 25gigs max at the moment(i think) and theres alredy discs in testing holding 200 gigs.

For a 2x bluray writer you're talking £500+ which is over $1000. May be expensive but if you have shit you don't want to lose i suppose its worthwhile, just burn the data and store them out of the way and you always have your backups.
