DVD or If you have a tape drive the tapes store the data for 7 (DDS) - over 20 Years (DLT) according to the information of the produces. DSS ist not the best format up to 20GB native (without compression). DLT can store up to 110GB native but is extremly expensive (7000Euro for the drive) VXA produces a affortable (around 1000$) with 160GB native or 66GB (700$). (http://www.vxa.com/). Onstream (http://www.onstream.com/) has also affortable tapes up to 120GB native (found no price) or 60GB native (660Euro). If you are not paranoid and like t o do backups. I would say a 2nd hard disk is a simple form of backup. But no REAL Backup. auf hoffentlich bald, Berni the Chaos of Woodquarter Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] www: http://www.lysator.liu.se/~gz/bernhard ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _______________________________________________ Mjpeg-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mjpeg-users
