I have three Western Digital 500 MB hard drives inside DYNEX drive boxes and I have been making copies of the entire Libraries Folder once a week. I keep one of these external hard drives outside in a storage barn, one inside near my computer and one in my bank safe box. I make a new back-up then move that external hard drive to the bank vault and take the bank vault external hard drive to the storage barn, then brint the one that has been in the storage barn inside. I let it slowly warm up to room temperature before removing it from a large coffee can that I keep it in, then when the time comes I repeat the above process, always keeping the most recent back-up in my bank safe box. Gordon Looks good. Letting the drive warm up to room temperature before opening the can is *very* good practice. But we have three problems here. 1. Our coffee comes in sacks. My wife works at the local Post Office and their coffee cans are those plastic 46 oz. size that are just right for storing these DYNEX external hard drives in. They also provide bug and dust protection when I put one of them in the back yard storage barn. 2. No safety deposit box. I keep all my important family and business records in my save deposit box at my FAA Credit Union Bank. Very handy and very safe from anything like a house fire, tornado, etc. 3. We're not as responsible as you are. The third is unfortunately true, not a joke. Okay, I won't show this to my wife and let her laugh at your "irresponsibilities"...promise. Gordon Oh, go ahead. She could use a joke :-) I'd better not! I already provide her with plenty of this kind of stuff to laugh at. She might go completely hysterical if I added you to her list. ;-) Gordon OK, safety first. :-) -- Gene E. Bloch (Stumbling Bloch) |
