I'm an old car nut and have a couple parts books (over 2000 pages each) 
and repair manuals on CD-ROM. I keep them on a hard drive for quicker 
access. Takes up a lot of space, but I don't have to swap CDs around and 
can quickly search any of them. If the HD crashes I can reload from the 
original CD. -------------- Date: Sun, 05 Aug 2007 23:45:24 -0700 From:

Can someone explain to me why you need to "make a backup image of the 
dvd package on a internal offline backup harddrive"? Isn't a DVD going 
to be far more reliable than some hard drive? Hard drive failures? User 
errors (i.e. rm -f)?
