If anything were to happen to you, have you identified someone who would come commandeer your computer and be sure all the music material you've saved onto it is preserved and hopefully passed along to others? If so, how do you have this set up? Two Mudcatters have agreed to share this task for me. No I won't tell who-- or everyone will lean on them! :~)

Are these services commercially available? Would that be "enough" for your stash, or would it still need some further attention to make the most out of what you have stowed "down cellar"?

What backing up conventions would you recommend to make this job easier than it would otherwise be?

What is the simplest way to do backups of this magnitude now that archive folders would be too bulky for CD storage?
