You can buy 80GB here, if you look hard enough. I looked for quite a while
and bought one that wasn't much cheaper than a 160. (80 GB drive for the OS.
More would have been wasted)

Sweet. I'm considering picking up a 500GB or 1TB drive while I'm over there
for an external. I should be able to get a casing here without much trouble,
but the drivers are definitly cheaper in the US, even considering the
exchange rate.

As long as the amount of data your company produces increases less than
the equivalent of moore's law for harddisk space (which I am pretty sure
it does) the expenditure will exponentially go down in time.
I first used floppy disks then switched to CD copies of my data, then
switched to DVD, now I simply buy a new harddisk. In the video about the
economic crash they said somewhere that people simply don't understand
exponential growth (IIRC), well they don't. Our 24 hour ECG (holter)
system does not make backups. People accept that because it takes a
we can not afford that, don't we? We have entered the era where storage
of a full CT scan is cheaper than the lab results because the latter is
on paper. If you still have copy machines at work, something has gone
wrong (we have and it did).

You'll want to hit some sort of "warehouse" type store, aka a "big box"
store. Some place that would also sell (for example) bare motherboards
or empty cases. I tried googling appropriate terms, but I couldn't find
anything like that. Again, I suggest asking the concierge at the hotel.

Your backup rotation doesn't need to go back to date the file was
created. It just needs to go back to yesterday of the date the file was
*deleted*.
If the file was deleted in March, I'd put my bet on "there's no
possibility for undelete to work".

Correct.

Again... correct. :-D
(Actually, that's not completely true. A few of the files in the project
were actually undeleted successfuly. But not the ones we had no other
copies of. Obviously.)

Cool. That's a good place. I looked on their web site's "store locator"
and I didn't see anything listed near Seattle, but maybe I'm just blind.

The store's actually in Renton. If I recall it's about an hour from Seattle
by bus, that's if you get the schedules right. Otherwise it's an hour by bus
and an hour waiting for the bus.

Yeah, I'd say that's about right by bus. By car, obviously, faster (I've
a friend who lives in Renton who works for the city of Seattle).
