Royco Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 What would be the preferred medium to backup a 2TB harddisk at home? Another harddisk? I see some people use tape drives. Or remote online backup plan? What did you find to be the most cost effective and secure way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably an exception: http://homeservershow.com/forums/index.php?/topic/8769-my-hp-proliant-gen8-home-lab/ Maybe they are cheap used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmwills Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I used them while overseas and they were a PITA. I think the tape size was something like 250 megs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikon Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 These days I use hard drives. I've used tape, magneto optical, and DVDs in the past, but I think HDDs are not only simpler but more reliable and versatile these days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
