best option to save files
 

What do you use to save files?

I have used dvd's up to now.

But film files are huge.

Whats the best back up option?

NAS RAIDed

Floppy Disks

Offers no protection against fire, water hazard or other risks as-is.

Add off-site backups to that and it's perfect.

dvd and cd (those you burn yourself) starts to become unstable/unreadable after a year for low quality media. worse media ever for backups

External HD. They are small enough to carry around and cheap.

I'm a "save as" man myself.

I use a pen and paper to sketch copies of my photo content in case I loose the originals. Feel free to use that tip on wouj

wow awesome idea! I wonder if StickFigureTeens.com is available?

I backup my laptop weekly onto a external drive and I have a older drive that I backup once a month for a 3rd copy.

actually its exactly what i do

, I use time machine to a USB drive and Amazon Glacier for offsite. backup.

i use an actual time machine. When something happens i hop in it and go back 1 day.

I am partial the the keyboard method Ctrl+s

SSD RAID in a fire protected data center would be best.

Amazon S3

i back up my hd to external hd but for personal pictures i keep the sd cards (i don't erase and use them again when they're full) and also back up to these. gets expensive though..

DVTimes.... an external hard drive is a good way to go. I also back-up via Dropbox to my laptop so I have two backups for my most important files.

Also, Amazon Glacier is an extremely cheap way to back-up if you want to go to the cloud.

Had a number of these fail on me over the years.
