This should be an interesting one. How do you do your backups, or do you? Raid setups? Dvd? External HD? Dave

I've got one current drive, a backup drive in the same PC and an external drive for paranoia's sake.

Using Acronis and saving the complete image onto external HD- run two images just in case one corrupts.

Back up to external drive using imSafe, it backs up the difference in the folders at each back up at the end of each day.
Always make sure the client has a drive to take home finished sessions.
Smaller sessions I'll strip down to just the master takes and stick on a DVD.

I've spent days backing up peoples stuff for them. Of course you try to charge them for the service and they think you're mad!!
