hard drive setup
hi everyone...
i was wondering for some advice on your harddrive setups and the best way to backup?
currently i have a 300 gb main harddrive and a 150 gb external firewire harddrive. i have all my software installed on the main C:\ drive of course, and then i have all my samples and project files as well as the cakewalk project audio/picture folders on the external 150gb drive and i just backup onto dvd-r's every so often.
i just got a 2nd 300 gb harddrive that i'm going to install. should i copy all the stuff from that 150 gb external onto the new 300 gb drive and make that my project/sample/audio/picture folder drive. and just use the external for backing up my 2nd harddrive (and occasionaly of course still make dvd-r backups as harddrives external or internal can still fail)? also whats the best way to backup, i dont wnat to use some stupid backup program that stores everything in weird compressed files. should i just store all my songs in folders by year and then subfolders by month so that way i just have to go back and copy over each month to my backup drive as i go to the next month? make sense... anyone else do it that way?
thanks for your thoughts/opinions/recommendations... i have an album coming out pretty soon in march... i'll be asking for everyone to check it out when it drops!
