yeah, I rsync my home folder to a 2nd drive every night, and back it up
to a Mybook external drive every so often. Music I can replace, maybe
not so cheaply, but it CAN be replaced. My photos CAN NOT be replaced. I
just checked and I have 25Gb of pictures under a folder. "used" to be I
would copy to CD's, then it grew to DVD's, now I need a bigger USB
stick. I have my newer ( not backed up to older CDs/DVDs) photos on an
8GB stick, but I need to get at least ONE 32GB stick just for photos. I
would rather have 2... I don't feel comfortable with everything in JUST
one place..
