I know why my recordings lasts only some minutes/hours. I cut them to my
"workstation" and burn the recordings to DVD-R. This way you only loose
the recordings of a single disk, if it is destroyed.

Btw. The EUR per Gigabyte (excluding the burner) is better than the
price for HDD-space! Ok it isn't as comfortable as having direct access
to the recordings but i don't have 1 TB of disc space to store all of my
recordings

Currently i have around 1 TB of recordings (>200 DVD-Rs) and space for
about 3 TB. (=720 slots for Jewelcases.)

Excluding the burner the "EUR per month" is better too. You only have to
buy the amount of DVD-Rs you currently need.
