Digital BW, The Print

Hi Steve,

OK, I'll bite.  I backup my digital files to external hard drives.  I gave up on 
CDs.  I currently have a LaCIE 250GB drive and a 120GB Maxtor.  And I am 
about to buy more drives.  These are in addition to the two 120GB drives on 
my Mac.  With 500 MB master 16bit scans of medium format film, backup to 
CDs became a pain.  If my current scanning project really gets off the ground, 
I will have to get a larger system for backup and base storage.  My studio is 
in a separate building in the backyard.  I keep the external drives in the 
house and carry them back and forth.  Of course if the fire was big enough, 
both buildings would be gone.  So I should probably have additional drives 
stored in a different location.  Cheers,

Tom Andrews
