Beh. A faster solution with similar security to either one would be a |
7 |
tar -cf/dev/null / |

If you're concerned mainly about FS errors, accidental deletes and such, |
9 |
I'd also suggest a second harddrive. It's relatively cheap, very fast, |
10 |
random-access and pretty secure. If on top of that you want protection |
11 |
against things like overvoltage, lightning etc. that might fry your |
12 |
whole system, you need some removable media like MO or tape. I used a |
13 |
DAT streamer for quite a while. DAT doesn't have the best tapes either, |
14 |
they wear out pretty quickly, but both tapes and drives are cheap |
15 |
nowadays and more than adequate for your amount of data. MO has a good |
16 |
reputation too but I don't have any experience with it. It seems a bit |
17 |
out of fashion today so you may be able to get a good deal on a drive. |
