How do you keep your sample library tidy?

I have pretty much everything backed up to CDR/DVD as well as HDD ... on my system drives I organise my samples into Bass, Drums, Vocals, Synths, etc. Backups are organized by Developer name in general.
My own samples are a bit more chaotic, but mostly backed up online somewhere as well as on CDR/DVD.

Floppy Disks were never that reliable.
This is the same method MJ used when he was working on Anthony Marinelli's Thriller.

I think you have to record at 1.96 kilowatts to get the ephemera.

Lost almost all my music projects, photos... After that I have been keeping 1 backup in a different place (don’t really update very often, since it is mostly to keep “basic” & most important stuff in super safe).
