[ale] home backup system

It's probably not an optimal solution, but I just copy data off to a 
'backup' server (it's a 350MHz celeron with 2 80GB drives mirrored).  I 
have a little script that just zips up what I need to keep, and copies 
it over to the backup drives.  I figure that the chance of the data's 
original drive, and both of the mirror drives going out at the same time 
is fairly remote.  Anything that's so important that that isn't 
sufficient, I burn to CD-ROM.  Anything that STILL needs more, well, I'm 
just screwed at that point.
