Exactly.
I have way too much to put on DVD's. Even duel sided bdray wouldn't be practical. There is a nice feature with online backup. You never have to deal it unless you get ****ed. At which point, you access your files and download them back to your "fixed" computer. Sure that could take days with 1000's of Gigs but you don't have to sit there either and keep feeding another DVD in there.
Now as for NAS. Yeah. That's BadAss but it's local and has no redundancy. It's just another external mirroring your internal HD. In the past I used to install 2 identical HD's in my machines to act as a mirror backup. Worked great bit just simply needed more and more room.
I went the external route until it was ridiculous to run anything but incremental backups bit even at that it was spread thru multiple discs.
Bottom line. If your under 50 GB to backup, DLDVD are your best option. If you're 50-500 GB an external is a good choice. 500+ seek an online farm to house your backups.
