I did it quite the same way as funkstar, but without the mp3 part. I am planning to set up a mirror drive of some sort where I have everything in mp3 once I figure out how to do it automatically. The drive cost is insignificant these days.
Also, I use linux on the server and I plan to start using rsync for backup. The mirror drive may then not in the same house. For now I store the backup drives on another physical location. I have two. Disk A is outside the house and disk B is moved to the house when I have to backup. B outside the next time etc. When I started to rip all my CDs to FLAC I thought it was a lot of data. Later I converted all my DVDs as well to ISO or MKV containers and then I realized FLAC is not really that much to talk about :) The real value is all the time spent on converting. The price for harddrives used for a good backup and handy mp3 mirror is nothing. -- Espen ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Espen's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15057 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80953 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
