Any one have a method to backup large volumes like md raid6 (16TB)? Since the backup will not fit in one disk (in many cases and mine too) I am wondering, if there is a known/easy technique to backup using multiple usb hard drives. I googed and found a few fancy backup utils/systems like Amanda etc. They are overkill for me. I am choosing not to back up simply because of the complexity of setup as the data in my RAID volume is NOT precious and can be replaced with a week of effort.

If any one can think of some thing simple, please point me to it and I will do the reading to figure out

499$ is not that much for a 16 TB external backup disk and whn you format it with BTRFS and enable compression you most likely have a lot fo space and your backup finally is just a single rsync command
