I was just about to setup a raid 1 when I realized I didn't want to really accomplish that. What I want is something to backup my system incase I fubar something.

I looked at rsync but I'm not sure if that's what I want.
Any advice?

rsync is used to back up specific directories every half an hour. It has been working well for last three or so weeks.
I've been seeing the responses on this thread, yet I wonder if I would also have success with rsync. I'm on a standalone, using 9.0 pro. I would like to backup modified and new files to a seperate partition. Rsync appears to be for 'sync'ing files over a network. Would it work for me, or is there something better?
