Then, in the past few weeks, hardly a day goes by without the lights
dimming or blinking, so I'd better protect us.

My wife is also "working remote" on Girl Scout data entry... she's
neighborhood registrar this year... she might kill me if she lost an
hour's worth of work ;-)

I use at least 2 backup disks. Full backups are written to each one, taking
turns. But before the full backup, a differential backup is done to the
other backup disk. It has the previous full backup, so this brings it up to
date in a few minutes. The total is barely more than the time of a single
full backup, but produces redundant backups that are all up to date. With 3
backup disks you would first do the differential backups to all but the
current one.
