Bad year for HD's

Perhaps it's interesting for those people to not have a good solution yet for their back-ups to let them in how you make your backups?

Learn Unix command line and crontabbing!!!!

Back up marks-links.com nightly.
Back up all domains to tar files on Saturday AM - download the tar files to my computer starting on Saturday afternoon.
If I don't feel comfortable, burn a C/D of the tar files on Tuesday or Wednesday.
about 90% of this is crontabbed in.
(moving to another domain is minutes instead of hours - like moving markslinks.com to marks-links.com - took about 1 hour including script changes and 1 host support ticket)

Pretty much the same thing, only back-ups start Sunday night when I get back from the cabin, and gets weekly C/D burns.

If I go down, it would be simply hours to get back online no matter what caused the failure. Server crash, or my hard drive crashing (though I have 3)
