Heck, I've already had a 3TB drive to fail. Anyway, I also need to look into some sort of backup system. I used to do this with DVDs but with this much "stuff", that just isn't a good idea, not to mention that DVDs have their own issues. I may take a peek into a RAID setup since really, that is about the best if not only way to do it. Thanks all for the replies. Dale :-) :-)
