Wow, that's an altogether clever idea. I don't see how you are going to remember to download the stuff though, you should probably set it as a cron job or something Well done, EVula.

I'm trying to get myself into a fixed schedule on doing things; Wednesday and Saturday are the days I've noted as the days I'll work on stuff for the Empire (blog account processing, backup stuff, etc). Really, all I have to do is start the download before I go eat dinner and I'll be done by the time I get back.

I'm hoping that I'll get a DVD burner soon anyway.

In all seriousness, we've got a DVD burner at work. If I end up with a ton of CDs, I'll start combining the old ones into DVDs to save space.

So, you'll provide space for my 1.58 GB archive?

Well, maybe I wouldn't need layered full-res on ALL of the architectual texture maps.

This sort of thing is why I bought a DVD burner, though admittedly mine is not as elegant of a solution.

The best solution I have found so far is to use Deja Vu with an external firewire HD. Currrently, I have my 10 GB development folder backed up every night at 3:00 AM. So far, it has worked beautifully.

Well, in an ideal world, everyone would backup their own data... however, I've seen enough lost projects (hell, including my own) that I thought I'd offer the service.

Good point. Although, technically, the only things that need compression are the files with resource forks... while I've been stressing backing up regular documents and model files, which don't use resource forks (usually), I should add a note about that.

Hrm, the FAQ is going to need to be put somewhere other than right on the front page.

Thanks for all the comments, folks.

What I meant was having a full script to connect to the ftp server, download them, delete them, and then even compress them, or whatever has to be done before burning. You could even write them to a disk image with a shell script, then its one click to burn and you're done.

Hmmmm
Is data-loss a large problem for people here? I havnt had any data-loss situations i like 5 years except for a couple terminally stupid things that I deserve to lose data for (accidental deletion)

Stuffit is a piece of .sit.

My solution is Apple's Backup tool, and a duplicate internal drive.

For my renderfarm, I use a RAID (level 5) triple striped and mirrored SCSI2 setup, using Silicon Graphics' XLV (eXtended Logical Volume) and XFS (eXtended File System) across a fibre-based network.

Your mileage may vary.
