Re: [Digital BW] OT: Remote Backup

2010-02-05 by Richard Sintchak

Just curious.  How is the (and the time it takes) better than an additional
external HD that you backup everything to once a month or every few weeks
and store at your work, or parents, or somewhere else?  I just got a Seagate
1.5TB Ext HD for $99.
