And latter as a test-bed for how *I* think a personal system should be configured. My old Windows box served for internet connectivity and playing Solitaire. I've got a setup configured *my way* so the Windows box has been demoted to Solitaire - not having experimented with wine. > > - how often do you expect each to happen More frequently than I'll admit. > > - how much time are you willing to take recovering Time is not much of an issue as I'm retired and this is a hobby environment. But recently Pastor has asked be to administer the church's new website (hosted elsewhere) so there will be some files which it would be annoying to have to recreate. > > - how much are you willing to spend Minimal. I'm intending to use a physically local hard drive as the primary backup medium. For church related files, likely will be flash drives stored at the church. From what I've been reading the local backup of my machine will likely be a weekly incremental backup. The backup for church will be file copies as it will also serve as a record for Pastor's use.
