Do you backup your computer hard drive? Locally? Online?
I backup my computer hard drive to..

- External USB Hard Drive, sitting on my desk. Copy of my entire laptop hard drive.

- Online backup, with Mozy.com (free). Copy of about 400mb of my most important files.

About once a week, I'll just run the backup programs when I'm away from my computer (at the gym, at work, sleeping, etc).

How about you guys?

Backup to a Linux machine over the network using Norton Ghost.

That way if the hard drive crashes, I can quickly boot off the recovery DVD and restore the OS and all settings, apps, files, etc.

Have it scheduled to run a full backup every night at 2:00 AM. And only keep the last 2 images.

Never have to worry about it.

Backup to external hard drive every other day or so, a few times a week at most.

Where is the Linux machine? At home? Another location?

If the linux machine is at a remote location, who maintains it?
