Any one have a method to backup large volumes like md raid6 (16TB)? 
Since the backup will not fit in one disk (in many cases and mine too) I 
am wondering, if there is a known/easy technique to backup using 
multiple usb hard drives. I googed and found a few fancy backup 
utils/systems like Amanda etc. They are overkill for me. I am choosing 
not to back up simply because of the complexity of setup as the data in 
my RAID volume is NOT precious and can be replaced with a week of effort.

If any one can think of some thing simple, please point me to it and I 
will do the reading to figure out.

Thanks
Ramesh
