[QUOTE="Atomic7431, post: 990981, member: 113847"] Im in a dilema which is not unusual for me lol. I currently have all my movies in mkv containers, both blu ray and dvd, taking up around 5 TB in space. My issue is if one of my hdd were to die as we say, i would have to re rip a lot of discs. Now if i setup another pc as a server somewhere in the house and set it to mirror my drives so i have an active backup of all existing data, the cost is quite a lot. What i want to know is what others thoughts are on an active backup solution and the costs involved vs just re ripping if a drive were to die (and the time factor involved). At present i have a machine in the living room serving as the client and server in one (specs are up to date in list) just wondering whats the best option, hell im not closed off to the idea of going back to a blu ray player because of costs involved in keeping and maintaining a setup, but going back to discs again im just not sure. So what peoples ideas on this and thoughts of do you actively backup a drive 1:1 etc. I would still use mepo for my music, and in debate about tv side of it as well. [/QUOTE]
