hi les/guys...
assume you had/have a usb/external drive that was connected to the laptop. assume that it was also the same size (2.5") as the laptop drive... couldn't you set up a process to do a complete rsync/backup every x hours.... of everything on the drive in use.
this would give a complete, always available backup that would always be right at your arms ready!!!
ok.. so what would be needed to accomplish this!!
thanks!

Have you looked at this? (I've never used it myself, yet, but it looks interesting.)
Clonezilla-live would be good for this if you have space on a networked machine to hold a compressed disk image.
