What kind of setups are you using for downloading/archiving your photos? Is anyone using some type of redundant auto backup, such as a RAID array?

I back-up to a second drive on my PC and a separate server at home, and to DVD(s).
The DVD's are kept off-site (my desk drawer at work)

Tim, check the following recent thread:

There was a fair amount of discussion regarding RAID, external hard disks and backup strategy which may interest you. - Stu
