My feeling is that for us mere mortals such extra technical hurdle would
more likely mean not backing -- My own "backup", beyond the zip drive, is
hard copy, at least for text, tho I realize that's not much use for
graphics... But aren't there portable hard drives that hold a lot? They
would also have the advantage that they can be filled in increments,
meaning you could back often.
