[gentoo-user] best way to backup

[Aaron Walker]

Came home at 3am this morning to find my main desktop machine locked up 
solid...  Rebooted and all of a sudden heard the dreaded clicking of the 
hard drive (a 6month old WDC 80GB).   I was wanting to reinstall Gentoo 
on my main desktop anyways, but this wasn't quite what I had in mind... 

Anyways, I threw a spare hard drive in (identical to the one that died), 
and am in the process of reinstalling Gentoo (on the 3rd different 
machine this week  )

Once I get everything back up and running, I want to start making it a 
habit to back things up on a regular basis.  I was wondering what others 
on this list did for their backups.

I was considering the following:
-  a seperate machine to handle all backup's of the various machines on 
my home LAN
-  buy another 80G and a RAID card and run it in RAID 1

any recommendations?

Thanks,
Aaron
