It takes less time (and money, if you want bit-for-bit accuracy of all
your discs) to copy DVDs to a hard drive than to copy them to DVD-R. And,
you really only have to do it once.

The more data you have, and the more critical it is, you can't afford *not*
to have some sort of on-line protection like RAID. If *I* can afford
three 250GB disks for a RAID-5 array for my own personal HD video editing
machine, then somebody doing that sort of thing for a living can afford
whatever size they need.
