The parts-bin box fell over under the strain of getting hit with a million files, so I decided to instead make tarballs* of the main directories and copy those across. While doing this I found about 60GB of triplicated files - that is, I had copies of those files elsewhere on disk and also backed up to DVD.

So I zapped them. That's 60GB less to copy, anyway.

While the files trundle across the network, I'm continuing to burn backup DVDs - now up to number 124.

And wishing I had one of those fancy 8x burners. It takes fifteen minutes to burn 4.5GB! And another fifteen minutes to verify! The horror!

* Like zip files.
