[olug] Backups??

Since my hard drive failed and I lost most of my "life", I've become
keenly aware that I need a back up system. So I've got several
questions.
First of all, I'd like to do an informal poll and find out what people
are using to back up their personal data with Linux. I figure this will
be of interest to others as well.
Secondly, I'd like to know if anyone has experience using the USB Hard
drives as backups to their Linux data and what that experience has been.
I'd like to know what you had to do to get it working.
Thirdly, I've toyed with the idea of getting an older machine and
putting a larger hard drive in it to serve as a backup but that seems
kind of iffy. Has anyone done that?
Thanks in advance for participating in my "informal poll"! Any
suggestions are welcome!
Don K.
