I've started considering such a device since it occured to me in the event of a failure, besides losing the large quantity of irreplacable data (music and video) in there, the quite obscene amount of time I've spent setting the system up would also be lost. If that were to happen, pathetic as this may seem, I would most likely cry. A lot. ;-)

of my experience installing FC4 over FC1. My LVM partition information
was preserved, so all I had to do was remount those drives and all of my
data was still there.
