Thanks for your comments on blu-ray optical storage Nano. I'll be setting up a PVR system here in a week or two, and my only real worry has been a decent and still cheap solution for all that video down the road. I'd rather not use an online storage service for terabytes of data and have little desire to essentially purchase twice the hdds, where half are used for nothing but backups, mostly due to the cost. You mentioned blu-ray as an unproven means of backing up data as of yet, but video would likely have a better chance of being alright, which would be good for me. I'll have to do some more research on this topic myself before I buy a BD-burner in the future, but I think it could be my solution.
