   During the summer I'm generally out of town 3 or 4 days per week.  I travel to   
   my little cabin with a 2TB and a 5TB.  Each having variations on a backup.  The   
   cabin isn't that far off of pavement but there's no internet or TV service so   
   the 2TB has music, lots TV shows and lots movies on it.  The 5TB has the music   
   and a complete backup of all the TV shows and movies.  Plus an encrypted backup   
   of /home on it, just in case I get separated from it.  I keep another set of   
   those in a little quasi-fireproof lock-box away from my abode.   
      
   When I leave town for the summer/winter I carry those same drives, and a 8TB   
   which has more stuff, in my carry on.   
      
   Lots of drives, lots of backups, a real need for scripts.  I've created a   
   script, run in cron, replicating the ~/bin directory across to all the   
   computers   
   in my home networks.  Got tired of needing a script on a computer and not   
   finding it.
