Sure. But a single spare HD is a single point of failure. Having
one tape per week or per month going back 10 or 100 tapes gives much
more redundancy....
Better yet -- using dump, backup to HD and then copy that dump file
to tape or CD/DVD or another HD...
I use 2 HDs and alternate which one I dump to each week.
Agreed. Having an online backup location which then gets dumped to tape
or some second place is excellent, since it makes restoring via rsync or
whatever very easy.
As someone else suggested, you can also stick things like config files
into version control (like CVS, subversion, etc), and then back that up
via the mechanism above.
How fitting, my HDD with FreeBSD on it just failed, RIP.
But appr. 2h ago I backed up all my files to my storage server ;-)
