Even with 50GB disks, I can backup my whole documents in one disk, and music in another, and pictures for another. All this for 3 very light/small-profile disks. I'll definitely buy one when price drops below $200. It beats external hard disks in my case.
50GB is chump change for most people now considering we have 1TB drives. If you really want to backup stuff, tape is the only way to go. I for one would not be interested in burning 10 discs for the ~500GB of stuff I have.
