Well, what I've been thinking about doing on my system is getting a removable
5.2" hot-swappable drive bay and then buying a 250GB (or bigger) EIDE drive
to stick in the bay. Then create a few partitions on the drive and use rsync
in cron.daily to keep a daily backup. After its done, just have it umount
the drive and I would always be able to remove it from the computer and even
be able to attach it to my other computer for another backup of its files.
Thats just what I've been thinking, I'm sure others have better ways to keep
backups.
