    I don't run backups per-se. What I have is a semi-mirrored arrangement with two external USB drives (2TB each). Anything I care about, I copy to both drives... they're about 90% identical to each other.

    Yes, I used to run rsync on a cron job, it was a pita. I might try doing that again, but probably not.

    If one of the drives flakes out, hopefully I've got what I need on the other.
