You raise an interesting question there. IMHO, there are two reasons for backups: to restore accidentally or mistakenly deleted files and to deal with a complete and unexpected hard disc failure. I wonder what would be the minimum and most efficient hard and software for these? I am not able to back up to a network and favor an external USB hard disc for my backup media. It would be interesting to know how best to set up a semi-automatic or even completely automatic schedule. Opinions on software would be welcome and speed is also important to me.

It is amazing how often such replies as "investigate for yourself" arise when one asks for opinions. I thought I had stated my aims :-)
