Hard-disk. The idea is to have another logical partition for backups and then some scripts to upload/download to any secure site (I could use rsync over ssh or simply scp). But the uploading is a second step. Now I'd like to deal with the first stage: the dump process. Another question: for restoring a backup, do I need to create (fdisk) a destination partition with the exact same size of the original? Could I use a greater one? (in this case, would I lose disk-space or the filesystem is "expanded" accordingly?). Finally, the 3rd stage: if you're going to save the backup files in an "non-trusty" machine, which kind of container / encryption software would you use? This would need to be easily scriptable, for automatize the backup task. Thanks to all the contributors of this thread!
