My rsyncs are done by 3 am cronjob. I have two VPSes out there in internet land, and one big server in house. They all get copied onto a secondary disk. If any disk goes, I have full backups, except if the secondary disk goes I have a BIG cronjob the night and day after a new one goes in :-) I have never really successfully restored from a tape. And the drive costs more than 4TB of disk. So far i've had one backup drive die on me - well nearly. started giving errors. And accidentally deleted a file and restored it from last nights backup half a dozen times, and rebuilt *this* desktop completely using the backup as a source of remembering what config changes I had made to a raw install. Works for me. YMMV -- In todays liberal progressive conflict-free education system, everyone gets full Marx.
