    As for the probability of HD failure, I have 6 HDs (about 4TB of space) in my server running unRAID from a usb drive. This allows me to spin down drives that are not being used (greatly extending their lifespan) and if one drive dies, I can re-create the information lost from information stored on the recovery drive.

    Curb Appeal has the right idea If you don't want disks laying around. You could also sync to an online back-up service. But uploading 1TB of data is going to take some time depending on your connection speed.

    Here's a couple links I think will help ya out. The first is a how-to on using DVD decrypter and DVD shrink. The other 2 are downloads for the programs. Basically you decrypt the file in DVD decrypter then shrink it in dvd shrink then turn around and burn it in dvd decrypter. If your libarary of movies starts getting to big your gonna have to start burning them. Not only that there would be nothing worse than loosing a terabyte of movies hard drives don't last forever and accidents do happen. I lost 40gigs of music cause somebody tripped over the wire from the external drive to the computer.

    Hello my names Matt and I own Matt's Pressure Washing Service LLC. It's a small pressure washing business in the Oklahoma City Metro area. I've been in business for about a year now. I've been lurking around here and PT-State for a little while now and figured I should introduce myself. I've gotten allot of good info off these boards and one day hope to be able to contribute.
