From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

My kmymoney file goes on an old compact flash memory card.
My home directory (including that file), /etc, databases, and a few other things get backed up weekly on to a USB stick.
Media raid array is automatically backed up to a large drive in another computer each evening. (The raid5 array isn't that large. It was when I built it, but now I can buy a single drive that is nearly as large as the array...)
Pictures are backed up to Amazon's glacier deep freeze. I pay about $1/month to back up all of my pictures. I intend to put other important things there too but haven't gotten there yet.
