Recommendations for home backup solution

[CB]

Thanks for all the responses on this. Lots to go on.

For now I've configured up BackupPC (http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/),
storing to an external (firewire) automounted HD. Easy and good so far,
and the fact that I can use my fedora box to back up windows machines
without having to do any config on the latter is pretty sweet.

Not my final word, as I can see advantages to the rsync/dirvish
approaches too.
