Default What is your backup routine?

I mirror all my hard drives to separate external hard drives. actually, they are just bare hard drives that I put in a dock with an esata connection. Use syncback to see what needs to be backed up. It does the copying for me

I don't have a raid setup in my computer, though I have 5.5TB worth of drives. 1 2TB drive, 1 1.5TB drive, and 2x 1TB drives
same exact setup for the backup

Its a little labor intensive to swap out drives, but I backup once a week.

Although, if i have a fire or break in - everything will be gone.

I just copy my home folder to a separate HD. It's easy to get software back, but I keep my work in my home folder.
