Impossible to back up
Once you start playing with digital video, you start having comparatively large volumes of data you'd like to back up. Theoretically, you can put your work on master tapes. Theoretically I write because I have not yet managed to get that to work.
So at 1 GB per 4.5 minutes of video, things quickly got to the point where I cannot back up my home dir anywhere but another hard drive. (No money for a DVD burner right now.)
When reinstalling everything, I have this mental picture of me with a limited number of vessels pouring precious liquid from one to another, hoping not to find any cracks.
