home backup solution

[pcimpressions at gmail.com (Tyler Robinson)]

If you have a windows live account there free 25gb online storage works
well, carbonite and drop box, also I use always sync with my laptop,pc and
external laptop drive and acronis true image for my server which goes to an
external drive that also runs always sync. Tapes for a home enviro has
always been to much work I like automatic, I have enough tapes to deal with
at work. Just a personal opinion though.

For years, I would raid my drives in my main home machine but I found
for my needs it was a waste of usable space and more overkill than
needed.  Now I just cron rsync to run and copy to another drive in the
machine and then every so often I rsync it over to an external drive.
This allows me to use the backup drive if I am in a pinch for space
and allows me to pick and chose what dirs I want to copy.

Even if my data is encrypted I don't like putting too much of my stuff
in the clouds, so I revert to just using lamer backup methods.
