Backups are an enormous pain in the ass these days. Hard drives are massive and cheap, but they've completely outstripped the capacity of any secondary format that would be useful for backups.
The hard drive on my main system started flaking out the other day, so I made an image and saved it to the drive that is supposed to be reserved for emulation stuff. I managed to fix the flakiness, but now I've got this 400GB image that I don't know what to do with. I'm not 100% confident in the drive, so I'm afraid to delete it, but I literally have no place to put it.
