Wow! Maybe I should look into Puppy. At RunRevLive I'll be talking about
ways to use USB flash drives, so I'll think about adding this to the mix.
Thanks -

A NAS device won't do it - at least not the ones I'm familiar with, but
I haven't looked at them since I bought one a couple of years ago. Maybe
they are smarter now.

Jim Ault introduced me to StuffIt for automated backups (which I still
don't use effectively, but...) StuffIt lets you schedule automatic,
unattended backups of specific folders to FTP and .mac locations. Would
that do it for you? It would run on your computer at night or whenever
you tell it to.
Ah, this is the keyphrase that i was looking for:
"unattended backups of specific folders to FTP"
If these backups could be done using Rsync, then
this will be a lot faster. :-D
If you want a separate piece of hardware to do the backup, I suppose you
could put a cheap PC into your network DMZ and copy files to its StuffIt
upload folder before you turn off your computer and go home at night.
Yes, that will do the job.
By the way, thinking about the imaginary USB device that
i described will require it to run some embedded operating
system, right?
An OS in a USB stick, just like this:

Many thanks for your answer and useful
pointers !
