Painful lesson I know. C: doesn't mean anything, it's the drive number and partition to pay attention to. Sorry man.

What I do is have a server on the network that I copy files off to periodically. That's primary backup. Then really important files, such as family pictures that are only digital, get copied to my thumb drive or portable hard drive, and brought to work and copied onto my work machine. Multiple backups in different locations FTW.

Yes, I found this out the hard way. I totally should've paid attention to the drive size. 40 GB IDE vs 250 GB SATA

And most people can get away with much much smaller than a TB.  Frizz is backing up stuff that is replaceable but would be a PITA.  If you limit that to just data you cannot recover you'd be surprised how little that tends to be.  Movies, music, etc are all nice to have but it's really just the financial stuff, family photos, the stuff that is yours that absolutely must be backed up.

I have 34 gigs of family photos, and that doesn't include the many years of photos that haven't been scanned yet.

2004 - Roughly 6000 photos, 8 gigs
2005 - 3200 photos, 3.6 gigs
2006 - 2700 photos, 5 gigs
2007 - 5500 photos taken, 8 gigs

At this rate, terabyte isn't too far off...

ChadTower:

That is way higher than average, though.  And it's still a longass way from 34g to over 1000.  At 8 gig a year you'll never see it unless you start scanning stuff at >600dpi or start ripping video.

I would never post it here. Dig your head under the sand. Walk it against a lamp post. Whatever, but don't tell others. Its soo dumb, hearing the truth from more people than just from your wife (take care of your own pictures CENSORED BY SAINT - READ RULE #2 it manager!) is sadomasochism.
