Well, 4GB is tiny. I keep a lot of photographic images, high-res scans of
medium format film. At 120MB (or so) per lossless image things get ugly
quickly.
But the disks are getting to be too big to fit a
level 0 on a
single tape.
Depends on the data. My /home is just below 4 GB. This is the data I
really care about and I write it to DLT tape. There is a lot of other
stuff like the OS (NetBSD) itself and the source it is build from.
There are MP3s I created from my CDs... This is a large amount of data,
but that data can be recreated when it gets lost. So I don't care about
backup of it. I.e. in the end I have to backup only 4 GB of /home data. Maybe I should get a second hard drive and create a
software RAID1...
Money well invested in my book.
