Well, what I've been thinking about doing on my system is getting a removable |
| 20 |
5.2" hot-swappable drive bay and then buying a 250GB (or bigger) EIDE drive |
| 21 |
to stick in the bay. Then create a few partitions on the drive and use rsync |
| 22 |
in cron.daily to keep a daily backup. After its done, just have it umount |
| 23 |
the drive and I would always be able to remove it from the computer and even |
| 24 |
be able to attach it to my other computer for another backup of its files. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Thats just what I've been thinking, I'm sure others have better ways to keep |
| 27 |
backups. |
