Hard disks

[Jerry Feldman]

IMHO, CDs (eg. CD-R) are the most reliable backup method since they are 
much less prone to degradation. Tapes and disks degrade over time. I back 
up my wife's email archives to CDs. But, CDs have a 600(or so) MB limit. 
Writable DVDs should be much better when we get good relatively cheap DVD 
burners.
