I know quite a few of us rant on about always backing stuff up, but I'm just wondering how many people here do?

I'm doing an uber-backup today! Everything from all my PCs onto DVD

I back up about every 3 months to a dual layer dvd disk, all my important stuff, goodies and documents, and i also have copies of all my goodies on my mini external hard drive so most things are duplicated and safe...

I'm cuurently backing up weekly to a spare HDD, and every few months a full backup to DVD's. Although trying to fit 50Gb onto DVD's is a little tedious (I must get a dual layer burner!).

What is the going rate now in your area for the dual layer media, last I checked it was over $10 per piece, I am sure prices by now may have come down.
