Hi all,

     I've been currently using BD-Rom for backup since they have dropped 
below $1 a disc for cost for non-live storage and an external NAS for 
live backups (less than 6 months old). Since the average project I'm 
working on is beginning to get beyond the 25GB limit I was wondering are 
there any other cost effective backup methods out there? I've heard 
backing up to hard drives is an option but I've also heard they can 
become unreliable after being dormant for a while. I'm hesitant to use 
the cloud merely because of the huge file transfers on Comcast's 
internet access where they hit you with a 250GB usage limit.

     -Robert
