you don't happen to have Google's new login system enabled do you? You have to generate a special password for some apps and software programs who want to log in to google for you.

I was just coming here to post that. I had to go back to the Google Authenticator page and generate a new password.
Solved, yay!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Insomnia-fueled searching has pointed me towards the Seagate Black Armor 220 2TB. Any warning flags?

Never mind, nothing to see here. Fixed.

So no one is using NAS backup? I wanted a 220 2TB because I thought that would cover the amount of storage I have, but I've just realised I have 1TB+ on one of my PCs. So, oops, up to the 4TB model, at least. And 220 not 110 because I want at least Raid 1. Is going for a 440 so I can get RAID 5 just overkill?

One of my client uses Drobo for NAS. Was a major pain setting up because it took three tries to get non-faily disks. No problem since then.

I use NAS backup and love love it. I have this: [link] but you do want more than 2TB, I think. I have mine set up to mirror, so 1TB each, and I'm out of space. Now, admittedly, mostly that's because I've been through five laptops in the duration of the NAS, and keep backing up multiple copies of music and other media. So I need to go through and clean it up. But I adore it.
After setup, it's totally easy to use, and I have everything automated comfortably now. It made migration to this new laptop super easy, and it's also supposed to be able to function as a media server, but I haven't gotten that functionality reconciled with my Rhapsody DRM yet.

Nice thing about Drobo is you can use mixed sizes and brands of disk - any SATA. I think my problem was disk quality. So you could start out with two 2 terabye drives and mirror and then increase by adding additional disks in smaller or larger increments.

Typo,
I have been interested in getting a Drobo, but I think I'm out of my depth in terms of asking the right questions. Do you know of any place that really explains Drobo well?

Our wings are not tired
I have NAS but it's not for automated backups. I have one for my media archive. I'm actually planning to move it to a Drobo since I probably need about 10 TB for the next iteration. My backups currently are all time machine based, but I run a local time machine on each of my workstations. In league with this I save all of my standard files on my iDisk, which is in turn kept in sync with each of my computers, so it's backed up on each of them, which in turn do an hourly time machine. For the studio computer I do a local time machine backup of the main drives and all of the media drives that I use for editing. The time machine makes sure that current projects have a decent backup. Once a project is completed then it is moved to my NAS, which is a mirrored drive, so there is a redundant copy. At that point it is deleted off the local project drive in the studio. If it's a really sensitive project then each night I make a copy to the NAS while I'm working. So NAS is a piece of my backup strategy. My current NAS is a few years old so it's a roll your own enclosure. It's been workable, but the next one looks like it will be a Drobo.
