Devastating Data Loss

[Chavo]

Noted. While we're on the subject of backups, anyone one give suggestions of different backup configurations?

I have a dedicated FreeNAS box with a RAID5 volume shared over SMB as my primary backup storage location.  My two primary machines (web server + main machine) have weekly incremental backups (nightly document backups) that are compressed quarterly and deleted after a year.  My test/spare/laptop/media machines are not backed up at all, but they also have zero information on them that I don't have stored elsewhere.  I have an external USB drive that, in theory, I intended to use as an extra offsite backup tool, but all it really holds right now are some very old backups of machines I no longer have and some recovery ISO images.  I wouldn't expect someone to set up something that complex for your basic user, but it works very well (and requires zero remembering to create backups) for my somewhat distributed network and valuable data.
