Hi all,
I have a Macbook Pro with 500Go, I have one External HD with 500Go + another one with 160Go + one desktop HD with 2To.
On the 500 Go I have all my samples, the 160Go is used for saving my Beatport MP3s and the 2To is used for all my other stuff, photos...
I want to have all my sound datas on 2.5 HD for take with me when I travel.
I have some problems actually with my new 2To HD and try to backup my datas.
I believe more and more that RAID is the way to go but it's very expensive.
I fear that I loose all my MP3 collection bought since 4 years and also my precious sample collection and my Logic Projects.
So I search to reorganize all my datas with more security.
How do you proceed ?
How do you organize, backup your computer datas ?

i buy 2 or three external hard drives every year and i constantly back up all my stuff. since i ripped all my CDs to harddrives i'm scared i could lose my big music collection... so i'll have 2-3 backups HDD for music, a couple for the music, and so on.
in fact i tend to double backup everything, i have some 10 hard drives around at the moment... and counting.
now with usb3 backing up is pretty fast and not so time consuming as it used to be.
i also backup the computer with acronis, bought a new machine 3 weeks ago, as soon as i configured everything (DAW, plugs and whatnot) i did an image of the window installation and all the software, should something happen i can revert the computer to a functional state within 10 minutes, without installing anything.
