Look for SSH and rsync in the archives related to backups. That's your
safest way to transfer the data securely to another machine/media.

I don't trust the Seagates in these Cobalts and don't like tape backup. I
use cheap removable hard drives on a backup server. I run RedHat on a PII
300 with an 80 GB removable hard drive. The machine is cheap and the drives
cost me $500.00 to start a full month, weekly rotation with one month
backup offsite. Can't beat it!
