    I tend to back things up as I download each collection, so it doesn't take that long each time.
    I understand what you mean, but I give you an example:

    I d/l the DC torrent which has 40GB now. I burn it to DVDs. After 1 month, the torrent is updated, I update the files, trash my obsolete DVDs, and burn new ones, and so on. If I store these files on an external HDD, I can always join the torrents. Because most of the torrents get updated from time to time, so I don't see why I should copy them to DVDs.

    In such cases I just backup the differences for each new release. I do this, where available, by obtaining the .dat for the new torrent release, checking my existing set and saving a missing text file, update the set to the latest version, and then save the files listing in the missing text file. I therefore always have an up to date version of the set without having to back the lot up each time and scrap the old backup.

    If you haven't played a classic game in years, it's never too late to start!

    Backing up data, eh

    Really should do that sometime, and buy another HDD. But I've blown a lot of cash on other things recently so maybe not for a while.
