Also, it's hard to make a backup image of a few hundred GB. To do that in my server would be asking for death... it's got 1.3 TB in it now. None of my data, well a small portion it "mission critical" and that gets backed up onto DVDs. The rest isn't mission critical, but I still hate losing it. I can't possibly back up everything, unless I go out, buy a ton of drives, and RAID5 everything (stripping with redundancy I believe). Then I don't need to back up so much, but if one drive fails in the RAID, I dont' lose anything. If two fail, well then somethings seriously wrong that two would fail at the same time. But yeah, then I'd be screwed.

Ouch... I know there are a few tape drive around that can handle the capacity that you need, not cheap (Using RAID & several HD's would be cheaper) but I always like to have a backup media that doesn't rely on several other factors in order to work properly.

Which remainds me, I have to do a full backup of my system this weekend... joy /sarcasm
