No problem, I was just trying to say that there is no consensus.
For me, using 50 to 70 DVDs is just not all that attractive.
Now that I've added a couple of DVD burners to my systems,
it is a lot easier to consider.

One other poster said that they have lots of tweaks of tags and meta
data, which is something that really needs to be properly backed up.
Re-ripping is painful to imagine, altho it isn't physically hard.
Remembering what was wrong with the FreeDB/cddb data, and what you fixed
is much worse.

Backing up the slimserver database, which should have all the critical
meta data is separate, and should be lots easier, than backing
up the flac files.

The important thing is to think about how important backups are to you,
and decide what you want to backup, and then do it.
