The new external hard drive for Kyoko's use is making some not-so-interesting noises. Just in case of a hard drive failure, I'd better make sure that the data on the enclosure is backed up somewhere.
One use of the external hard drive is to backup data from her ThinkPad. Therefore, the original data is still there. (Also, the PC is the media room is also used as a backup for data.)
However, another use of the external hard drive is to archive shows she wants to save from ReplayTV. Therefore, one way to have a backup of the archive is to burn to DVD, but probably too much of a hassle, so I need to expand the data available on the Family Room PC archive to also copy her shows there. I have been wondering whether I would need a backup of the Family Room PC archive. Considering it is already over 1 TB, that would be quite some additional capacity to back that up. Therefore, at the moment, it seems impractical, although it is true that if I really, really, really want to save a show, I'd better save it in two places.
