I got backups of most important stuff but my almost full disk is videos. |
| 42 |
LOTS of videos. I even found Gilligans Island. lol |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
Right now, I have a 160Gb which is for the OS itself, a 250Gb which is |
| 45 |
what I plan to copy to and back from and a 750Gb for the videos. I plan |
| 46 |
to buy a 2Tb or so drive as soon as I can. Buggers are pricey for me. |
| 47 |
I want to get a good one since I have no way to back that up, yet. I |
| 48 |
plan to later. |
