Why not buy a second hard drive? My nightly backup is a 4TB drive. "Personal" means the data does not leave my house. I export my backups periodically to a 50GB Blu-Ray disc. My backup is a Bourne shell script that eventually calls up tar.
If it's only in one location, you have no backup. :)
If it has to be manually connected and manual steps taken, most people will not remember to do it.
Lennart, Run a cron job. My backups to Blu-Ray are manual. -- Howard Gibson hgibson@eol.ca jhowardgibson@gmail.com http://home.eol.ca/~hgibson
