Anyway wisdom on the best way to do this?  My thinking is that
Way2 is better than Way1.  Do you agree or disagree?

        Either way should work, depending on how you want to play them back;
        Way1, you can get to most any file most any time,
        Way2, you'll need HD space for both,connect them, then untar them, to
get to anything on either.

                                pkl

Aha, yes, good point.  Thats just the kind of perspective I wanted.

So, I have so many files and I rarely know exactly what file or what dir it is in. I usually do all sortsa find commands to track it down. This
suggests the tar and split option works best.

I have a general problem of a growing electronic footprint that must be
preserved through flooding, fire, etc. This going to disk business is going to become more and more of a pain. If anyone has any suggestions on what else I can do, I'd appreciate. My preference is to store it online remotely at some place that I can ssh into. Any suggestions on a place that guarantees robust reliable storage would be appreciated.

Bill
