firewire drives and faubackup (Score 1)

My solution (linux-based) has been to buy external firewire drive enclosures, put IDE drives into them, and use the faubackup utility to mirror my files. faubackup uses an extensive system of hard links to perform backups at whatever time interval you desire without demanding huge amounts of space - old files that have not changed from the previous backups are stored as hard links and take up no further space (lots of inodes are required, however). In combination with 1 firewire drive (or set of drives) on-site, 1 off-site, rotated, seems sufficient for my purposes.
