I fully agree. I use a similar procedure (incremental
backups via a batch file that is calling arj, in
combination with a scheduler that starts the whole thing at
7 a.m.), but I have added one important step: encrypting the
backup.
I might be a tad paranoid - the "Church" of Scientology is
after me, and in such cases one can't be too cautious - but
I really believe that all private communications should be
stored encrypted. I also use a PGP-disk as my mail
repository.

Did you ever read poor old George Orwell's 1984? Yes, yes,
that's wonderful. That would be - could be the palest
imagined shadow of what a world would be like under the rule
of the secret use of Scientology with no remedy in
existence.
