[FW] WAS: F/W Video Cam for Back ups?

[Johns Maillist]

Thanks to all for the info/advice.
Guess I was being a bit short sighted when I did not consider the wear 
and tear on the Dig. Camera.
I have an extra F/W case, so I will put a 200 GB drive in it and set it 
for incremental B/Us. That should handle the issue.
Thanks again to all for the input.
