SOLVED Where to store a backup

<< < (2/2)

Shane:
External drive is a must now a days. Mainly because the speed of dvd burning is slow and getting the data off, where as with a hard drive you have much better speeds, and a heck of a lot more space instead of trying to use a bunch of cds or dvds :wink:

Not to mention, get the cd or dvd scratched and so much for that data lol

Some people like online backups, I personally dont like them, I have a LOT of data and it would take forever and I dont want others to be in control of my data. But if you dont have a ton of data then online storage is a way to go as well. Again though, after a certain size it becomes slow as well. Imagine trying to backup or restore 80 GB or more over your internet connection.

If you substitute the word "cloud" for "someone else's computer", then it does n't sound so attractive  :wink:
