Yup RoG has it right. I acquired my music from a couple of different computers. One of them no longer had those music files so I trying to find a way to get them off my iPod and onto another computer. The iCopybot works great for saving some of my music on my iPod onto another computer but like I said it's an old unit and has been giving me problems this past year. I bet it would work flawlessly on an iPod that's in good shape. RoG is da dude thanks again!Originally Posted by progrmr

No problem. Glad I could help. I had a similar situation with a hard drive crash leaving me with music on my iPod that I didn't have anyplace else and was glad to find a way to remedy that. Now I have my backup hard drive backed up to DVDs. I'm not losing another song ever again!Yup RoG has it right. I acquired my music from a couple of different computers.

Funny you should mention this because I recently lost tons of data on an external hard drive that also went south on me too...and like you, I am going back to saving on DVDs. Maybe others can learn from the info on this thread!

Yes, the lesson is backup your backup. Hard drives crash, typically at the worst possible time.Funny you should mention this because I recently lost tons of data on an external hard drive that also went south on me too...and like you, I am going back to saving on DVDs.

What I do is use several HD's. Storage is cheap these days.Funny you should mention this because I recently lost tons of data on an external hard drive that also went south on me too...and like you, I am going back to saving on DVDs. Maybe others can learn from the info on this thread!
I have one drive just for the OS, which I back up to another HD.
I have one HD just for music-making files, which I back up to a fourth HD.
I have one HD just for all my documents, which I back up to a sixth HD.
I have a few other external drives for movies and music, which are also duplicated in the aforementioned drives for storaging. I also have 2 iPods where I keep music, 200G in total.
To add to that, I have 5 terabytes of online storage space for TV programs, plus two 50-gigabyte online storages for www and for posting/online storage of music and data. Plus at work I have basically unlimited backup space for my laptop backups, plus a few network locations plus two online data banks which can be accessed with any machine plus cell phones. Plus of course a couple of HD TV recorders for other TV's in the house.
In addition we have two laptops, which also house duplicates of almost all music. Some of the music is also duplicated to an external drive for Xbox 360.
No way I could save to DVD's...they're only 4,7G and just my music collection is like 200-300 gigabytes. I'm not actually sure but I'm guessing I have something like 3 terabytes of drives for my PC plus laptops.
So what I suggest is just buy a couple of, say 1-3-gigabyte external drives and set up your machine so it copies stuff around daily and you'll have all your data safe in at least 3 places. Better yet, make one of those a RAID NAS drive and hook it up to your WLAN and have wireless access to all data from anywhere, and even yet double-secured.
These days stuff like them HD's is cheap as bread so no reason to play with DVD's or such no more.
And, I also try and change/upgrade my HD's every few years both to get more space there and to get rid of them before their 3-year warranties end.
