You ripping fool, you!
I wanted to add, that the reason I'm on a mission to back up my media library is because A. I've always stored it on a separate drive than my boot disk, and as a less critical volume, it's unfortunately been ignored when prioritizing backup regimes B. Murphy's law: whichever drive or volume you don't back up, that's the first drive to die a premature death, leaving you screwed.
I got caught unprotected. I've had my media library wiped out more than once.
This time, building it up over the last year or so, I've been more interested in keeping it backed up. Also, storage space is cheap and abundant.
Which only leads to more and more collecting and archiving, requiring more room, more storage space.
