Right now I keep current projects and all related files down to the RAW file on my laptop, which is 320gb. When they are finished I move them to a 320gb external drive, and I'm getting ready to start burning dvd's to put in my safe because I've always had concern about hard drives and how easy they can fail. I look at hard drives as just kind of an easier way to access things that I don't want on my system anymore. At the moment they just aren't very reliable backup devices.
+1 I am always worried that something will happen to either computer or external. In fact I plan to spend this evening sorting through the current pictures on my laptop deleting those that are no good and burning the rest to CD.
Please don't believe that since CD's are a solid state media, that they're not prone to corruption and failure. They can go bad as well.
