Agreed. I have about a 200 gig backup, but none of it is volatile. Digital
pics, music, family videos, static things
The volatile stuff - documents, new pics, etc is actually quit small, and
backs up to cd- r or dvd-r in a few minutes.
When I get all the new pics properly labelled and indexed, then I re-do the
main backup.
