How do I Backup my Data?
While Traven tape backups provided a relatively inexpensive means of backup, the tapes are neither fast enough and hold too little for the Hard Disk drives of today. DAT tape backups are selling as low as $900. They are faster but still lack the size needed. The Maxtor One Touch II can hold 300gigs of data ($250) to 500gigs ($370) and can be configured to use USB or Firewire. These come with full restoration software that walks you through the process of setup and burning a boot CD to start restoring to a fresh hard drive if needed. It is truly a one touch system and I've had nothing but compliments from my installations of this valuable tool.
