I assumed there was some such thing, but I don't want it. I |
| 39 |
miscounted anyway, and included only the partition set aside for old |
| 40 |
cruft, where I copy the oldest packages there every year or so -- it |
| 41 |
seems I like having them even if I don't know why. Counting the new |
| 42 |
cruft, it's more like 7 GB. With drive prices being what they are, |
| 43 |
it's no big deal. |

Since about a year ago, I've been able to afford mirrored 500GB SATA |
| 46 |
drives on this machine, with a separage eSATA for backups, and I have |
| 47 |
an eSATA at work for offsite backup too. The external ones fit in my |
| 48 |
backpack nicely for the "sneakernet" part of my backup plan. Having |
| 49 |
suffered and paid for hard drive crashes in the past, I really really |
| 50 |
love this. |
