Ok, DVD-RAM is safe, but a PITA and even for unsafe DVD R or RW we'll become DJs to burn split archives, since wasting of resources became a law. "Software is getting slower more rapidly than hardware becomes faster." - Wirth's law Since I started with 6502, 6510 Assembler I have another taste regarding to usage of RAM, hard realtime etc. ... I'm a dino, not willing to suite to the tool I'm using, my habit is that the tool needs to fit to my needs. I won't change my workflow, I'll get a removable HDD, e.g. an USB HDD to backup my backups. :D 0.02?, Ralf +++ PS: I'll test rsync, but a removable HDD also will protect (better) against lightning strikes, since a type 3 SPD won't protect if your house doesn't feature a type 1 and 2 SPD.
