Put me down as another happy SyncToy user. My main slimserver library is backed up when I feel like it, using SyncToy, to an external disc on another computer.
I also use SyncToy to copy just the AAC branch of the library (I have FLAC, MP3 and AAC) to my laptop to be played with iTunes while travelling. The external disc is only powered and plugged in when I'm doing a backup (eliminates the lightning risk) and I've deliberately gone for a manually triggered backup to avoid a case where my main system went bananas, damaged its own data and then, before I had a chance to stop it, wrecked the backup as well. Even if I leave it a month, thats at worst a few CDs worth of data. If I ever do a big retagging effort, I know its time to backup. So... just at the moment I'm feeling snug and smug. My problem now is that the "huge" disc I thought I'd bought a year ago - with plenty of room for growth - has nearly been filled up by the extraordinary amount of music I've bought in that time! So now I've got to consider buying another drive for the server, and another external drive for backup, and all of a sudden the backup scenario looks a lot harder. Hmmmm...
