Just a knee-jerk reaction because I like it so well, but whenever anyone mentions backups I have to recommend backuppc. If you have any other system that can work over the network (perhaps offsite via VPN) and hold copies on-line you might like it. It is the kind of thing that you can set up once and it will take care of itself for years. It can use rsync for the transport so after your initial copy you only need bandwidth for the changes.
That's something I might take a look at. What I want to do is make backups that are on removable media, so they are not dependant on a machine for their data safety. Once I have burnt the backups to DVD they will be stored away then, just in case I need them.
i suggest to burn it twice on different media and migrate the data to new media after a couple of years :-)
