Sorry to hear the news Paul, sounds awful. Yep, I keep the ext hard
drive at home and do a basic offsite thing with the DVDs (in my office
drawers 9 miles away, which should cover most individual meteorite
hits), but I'm just looking for something more convenient - and
indeed, more automated.

Right now, a rotated 16GB SD card and an overnight cron job seems
appealing, as opposed to shuffling multiple DVDs about....
