It just seems that.....of all the different methods....THAT one is the

External drive(s) may be a safer place to keep irreplacable files.
I use a simple Raid1 NAS for "must keep" files.
Oh I agree TOTALLY! Although I have like over a thousand files that are
directly stored on my PC I ALSO have them stored on a 1TB drive in an
encrypted folder, so should anything ever happen, I can put back what's
lost or corrupted. Also I run the "Backup" tool every month, with
incremental backups between the monthly ones. I do NOT intend on losing
data EVER again! The last time I DID lose data was when I was going from
"Windows" to Linux, and ever since losing some very "vintage" guitar
sounds from my Cakewalk days, I've never done ANYTHING without a backup
made first.
On a totally different note, but related just the same...because of all
the files I have now I'm thinking maybe it's time for a "dedicated
server" to hold them all, can someone recommend an OS/distro that would
handle this along with possible "printer duties" and "security" that
will be easy to use and "light" on the hardware?....(and just FYI I have
no command line/scripting skills so something with a GUI would be
preferred!...)
