Similar to what I do.  I don't back up the applications, but only my pers=
onal=20
and data files from many different directories using a custom script that=
=20
tar's and copies the files to another HDD, which is now on another machin=
e.

I also mount my Windows directory onto a Linux machine and have the Linux=
=20
script copy the files to a third machine (the backup machine & file-serve=
r).

Cheers,
