Digital BW, The Print

Mitch,

I guess I am using it more as a backup than an archive. I have two copies of
my files. One on the internal drive and one on the external. Mine is not
meant to be portable but I believe there are some good sized portable
external drives available.

If I did want to remove an image completely off of both I would be inclined
toward the DVD as a time saver. No doubt price and capacity will continue to
improve.
