New Anime 2010

Storing anime

I'm currently still storing everything on DVD but it is starting to become troublesome:
- burning errors occur sometimes when you put everything on DVD
- despite the fact that i check for reading mistakes right after burning, it happens that certain files are no longer readable after a certain amount of time
- DVD's and cases all cost money and i'm starting to run short on storing space
- A series never completely fits on 1 DVD so you have to spread it over another DVD, leaving space open which makes it difficult to manage

So I'm thinking of buying a external HD to store all my anime and manga. But, the downside of this is that when the HDD crashes, everything is lost. How do you guys try to prevent this from happening since you can't always see this coming?
Do you buy a 2nd external to back up the first one? If so, do you use a program to create backups?

happy 2010

happy 2010 everyone

Gundam Unicorn

Announced for Gundam's 30th anniversary in 2009, the Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn OVA series marks the first time in Gundam history that an anime is being adapted from a pre-existing work. Based on the novels of the same name by Harutoshi Fukui, Gundam Unicorn is set in UC 0096, three years after the events of Char's Counterattack. Directed by Kazuhiro Fururashi (Rurouni Kenshin), the series stars Banagher Links, a young engineering student from Side 7 who is drawn into a series of events involving the mysterious Unicorn Gundam. The Unicorn Gundam is connected to Laplace's Box, a secret dating back to the dawn of the Universal Century. The production of Gundam Unicorn marks the first non-CG Universal Century OVA series since the release of The 08th M.S. Team in 1996. Bandai has planned a simultaneous worldwide release for the series, including DVD, Blu-ray and the Japanese PlayStation Network. The first volume of Unicorn will be released in March 2010.
