Don't bother with Poser much if at all anymore. However, I do have DAZ|Studio working full-swing. The "Get Info" utility on my Mac shows that all my Poser crap totals about 42.98 GB, which I have split across six Runtime directories under an arch-directory I call "Poser 9". This is not counting the approximately .75 GB of (uncompressed) stuff I have yet to install (if I want to keep it), and the 6.something GB (compressed) of categorized and clearly labelled stuff that I'll only bother installing if I actually need it. OTOH, this pile of stuff goes back to 2001. For backups, I have an NFS (Network File System) share to my Linux server/modeling box, where there's a dual 300GB drive RAID1 set that stores all of my goodies (and more) w/o compression. I intend to add a pair of 500GB disks to it soon. It took roughly 22 hours to do a clean full backup of Poser Crap + everything else (via rsync), which weighed in at 120GB or so. Weekly update differential backups take about 10 minutes. (...and they wonder why I eyeball the multi-terabyte SCSI RAID Arrays @ work with unashamed lust in my eyes...) /P
