Backup Theory has it that your media should be removeable so that you have rotating sets of recent backups, one of which is kept off site in case of fire or vandelism or some other physical damage. If you do daily backups, you switch tapes or cartridges twice a week and take the one you switched from to your office with you if its from a home computer.

Its a really annoying process do be doing every week for the rest of your life, but thats the theory anyway.

You are now in the RAID world we discussed earlier. If you are going this route (and its a good one) then RAID solution is best. Especially if you are going IDE RAID (cost).

I wouldn't go almost all the way by getting second HD without getting the RAID. Do match the two HD. Best to have same manufacturer, model and size.
