No one ever *really* learns until thy lose something important. High-capacity "Green" hard drives are dirt cheap, as are external USB and eSATA enclosures. (Though I haven't figured out how to pull the eSATA plug on a running system without it scribbling all over something important...) So, if today I were building a backup system, I'd buy a USB 3.0 card, a 2-drive USB 3.0 enclosure and a couple of 3TB Green drives. -- "Neither the wisest constitution nor the wisest laws will secure the liberty and happiness of a people whose manners are universally corrupt."
