Hello AG,

Thus, can I please have a few recommendations for a backup routine
that is safe for dummies (i.e. me) and is low maintenance that I can
just leave to run according to a cron job once (or twice) a week?  It
would be backing up to my former IDE HDD (now in an enclosure) via an
Unsatisfactory, IMO.  Any back up should be made to a medium that can be
removed from the computer and, at the very least, stored in a different
part of the building.

My favourite for this is JungleDisk.  It stores your files on Amazon's S3, and
as a backup program it's half decent.  It's not free/libre/open-source, but
it's cheap (US$20), and you get free upgrades for life.

Oh, and S3 storage is cheap.  $0.15/GB/mo, plus $0.10/GB upload/download.

I'm backing up about 150MB per day one place for about US$3/month.

You've not read about such on-line businesses accidentally deleting user files, not actually backing up data, "changing direction", or going out of business?

For 150MB, go buy some thumb drives.
