    Do you guys save all your backup dvd's to your hard drive?
    I am running out of room.

    I do, but I delete them after I back them up. At 7 to 9 gig per movie it will eat up a hd in a hurry.

    Cheers.

    I delete the files as soon as I make the backup. I'm thinking of getting an external hd just for saving movies though.

    I have a Seagate 160 gb external that I use just for that and it works great.
    I would also at least once a week defrag the HDD this will free up some more space.
