low-level disk failures. Filesystem corruption caused by bugs,
accidental deleting of files, etc. are happily allowed. Get a DVD
burner, you'll thank yourself one day.
Got one. I have 935Gb of data (soon to be 1.2Tb) Each DVD holds 4.7Gb and takes 20-30 mins to burn. Any other ideas ? ;)

PS Seriously - the data is films, my CDs, DVDs, TV shows and the like. It's a bummer to lose but in the grand scheme of things it's only the telly.
My _real_ personal data (photos etc) are mirrored onto physically seperate disks each night. The 'backups' are remounted read-only. It's the 'rsync snapshot' method.

Thanks for your concern though :)
