However, this got me wondering what methods others use to backup their files......
Two computers in my home that each have four-drive RAID 10 arrays are my primary "negative" storage.
I back them up with five external backup drives in a rotation. I keep three of them off site. Each time I visit one of those sites, I make a new backup to an external drive and swap that with the drive I left there last time.
Backup software is the "copy" command of whatever platform is hosting the drives when I make the backup: "xcopy" on Windows, "cp" on Unix-like systems. I use appropriate command line arguments on the copy commands to prevent the re-copying stuff that hasn't changed.
