At best, that's only a temporary backup.  Useful if you're changing a file and 
need to revert to the previous version rather quickly. Otherwise, as soon as 
that machine goes down for any reason, your backup starts to fade rather 
quickly. Some of the compressed-air-ram-freezing techniques may be useful here, 
but unless you're nearby soon, you're out of luck.

  I backup to a RAM disk.  It's much faster that way.
