If there ever was a case for *not using* HD it is this. 50MB is an amount
small enough to handle with non mechanical shenaningans involved and
adhering to traditional backup polices. One is more likely to do what one is
supposed to do if one is handling DVDs instead of HDs (which are bulkier,
need to be powered up, etc).
