My desktop machine is now 2 yrs old & has an SSD for immediate stuff ;
it also has an HHD with 500 GB available.
Files I'm working on are backed daily to HHD & to USB stick ;
once/week I use a script in Krusader to copy everything in ~ or /etc
which has changed during that week onto HHD & USB
& also to an off-site system I have I/net access to ;
I also run a simple Bash script to rsync system files to an HHD copy.
Every 9 mth I do a full back-up of everything in ~ or /etc ,
of which I keep at least 1 copy off-site & another on CD (in future DVD)
for when the Earth's poles change & everything magnetic is wiped out (grin).
2 belts + 3 braces : HTH.
