Not arguing that, but I would like to have actual archiving software to
check and then do an incremental backup rather than a brute-force
copy/overwrite of the entire drive each time.
I'd like to have something like a Drobo storage array and combine
everything onto it, but as cool as they are, they're still $500 for the
bare box before you add drives. So, add a minimum of $300 worth of drives,
and it gets to be an expensive storage option.
