With over 2TB of space at home, you just volunteered to give a talk at freed.in ;-) Please, please, please, Vikram go and register a talk on backup and backup solutions. There are actually several really cool solutions with large volume managers like Openfiler and many of the rsync based thingys. Would be a neat talk.
