I need a little input guys and girls.

I have been using an external hd to save all my graphics on but realized today that I am setting myself up for major heartache if the thing ever crashes. I was in a panic today because my finder crashed and was showing me that there were files there but I had no visibiltiy of them. All my folders on the maxtor were showing 0 bites. I was afraid that I had lost my accesses even though the drive showed that there was 45 gb available for use.

First thing I am going to do is put everything back on the computer and use the external for what it is….a backup. It will be easier access anyway even if it will make the antivirus take a freaking week to fully scan my files.

Questions:

What do you use for backups? Strictly DVD or external hd or an online cache?

How often do you back up?

And the biggest question of all What do you backup?

Discuss please.
