I couldn't find the exact thread where someone said "backup onto
Laptop
HD" but in the end I got one of these

http://www.scan.co.uk/products/productinfo.asp?WebProductID=817528

to use with an old 30Gb PTA laptop HD. I got mine from buyer but Scan
have some on Today Only over the weekend along with the drives. I've
only one generation which work tease me about - what if the dissector
happens when I'm at home !

I did a manual copy this time to truecrypt containers but I'll be
looking at the corbien backup mentioned before when I get round to
building something more robust.

A good idea and whilst now true pure HA the sort of thing I find this
list very useful for.
