What's your packup strategy for your 3GB files? one DVD each?

Well, my database as it stands at the moment is about half a gig -- the
figures in my example is what I'm projecting to be likely growth over
the next couple years.

I back up onto a 20 gig external hard drive.

At any rate, I find Bill's warning about the insidious effect that a
single corrupted image spoiling the entire collection of images pretty
nauseating. I guess it would be more prudent to use refs to the images
stored in a folder.

....it's just that it's yet another folder system I have to set up and
maintain. I have folders containing around 50 images from each film set
up in a folder system, and since I'm only using three images for each
film in the database, I think it would make sense to copy those images
into a folder set up for this Database -- I don't want to have to think
about the database every time I decide to move a folder on my hard
drive, which I do frequently for various reasons.

It would just be so nice to have the database be a single file -- now
that Tables replaced Related files things seemed so tidy...
