ST Poll: How much data do you have to back up?

Posted by oblique (aka kkuphal) Jan 25 '11, 12:41

My current dataset that I ship off to my friend is just under 500GB and that includes all my photos and documents and videos (but not my DVR/DVD rips, etc) and nothing at this time from my kids computers

I would guess just under a TB. not that much really. -- nm - amanda jones Jan 25, 12:46 1

I don't know. I'd like to be able to rip and then backup all my CDs. - JaxSean Jan 25, 12:46 3
- why CDs? -- nm - Don Homer Jan 25, 12:48 2
  - I have about 1,000 CDs that haven't been ripped. I'd like to rip them, store them, and get rid of the physical CDs. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 25, 12:50 1
    - I actually want to go through mt CDs and ensure they're all ripped and then get rd of them as well. - amanda jones Jan 25, 12:54
maybe 20G. -- nm - loosilu Jan 25, 12:44
Not counting DVD rips...less than a gig. - Will Hunting Jan 25, 12:44
not counting duplicate data, about 250gb ... 30-40gb of which is truly important -- nm - Beryllium Jan 25, 12:44
hmm, my server has about 200 gig on it (not including movies) so that I guess. -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 25, 12:43
excluding DVD rips not that much. a few gigs worth maybe. -- nm - sycor Jan 25, 12:43
Not that much really, about 100 gb. I don't have many videos, though pictures are increasingly gaining a greater share of the space. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 25, 12:42
seeing as how my laptop only has an 80GB hard drive, somewhat less than that. -- nm - znufrii Jan 25, 12:42
