Best game backup option

I back up everything to my external hard drive.
That's what I do, too -- external drives are so cheap these days, it's worth it. I have Retrospect do auto backups of my whole My Docs folder every couple of days, and I also use AllwaySync after every play session to back up my hood files. I also burn a CD or DVD of important stuff, like videos, pictures, music files, and stuff like that.

I don't bother to backup CD ISOs. If they somehow manage to break when stored on a 3 TB RAID, I'll just download new ones. Why sweat it?

3 TB RAID
DROOL!

They don't cost that much, Poofs. At this point, I reckon the price of such a monster is down to maybe $400, tops. How much do you waste on food a month? I figure that this represents maybe a month or two of leanness and rat-eating. You'll live. You can probably get one even cheaper if you acquire it in "broken" condition and refurbish it, but I wouldn't count on a Poofs doing that.

Yeah US$400, plus I bet it would work out to more than the equivalent here.
No, I can't repair hard drives. The techie ex has had some success soldering bits on the circuit boards to resurrect some of them though.
