[QUOTE="MudHog, post: 1143577, member: 21686"] A previous post mentioned an external HDD for backup. I would highly recommend going with what is called a Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks, or RAID, setup. You can easily setup the system to where one HDD is an exact mirror of the other HDD which is called RAID 1. Remember that HDD are NOT forever. They fail way to often. I had a Western Digital MyBook that had all our pictures (wife and I do photography too), and the MyBook failed in less than a year. Luckily I was able to pull the HDD and install into a desktop computer and finally was able to recover most of the files after many attempts. External HDD enclosures are cheap and you can install the HDD in there if you work on a laptop. If you have a desktop with some extra bays, you can install the HDD and have the RAID setup internal to the desktop. [/QUOTE]
