Quick & Dirty Backups - Linux Magazine Article

I have gotten a ton of feedback on my most recent Linux Magazine article - "Quick and Dirty Backups".  Thanks to everyone who responded.  Hopefully the article will end up saving some data!  I really appreciate that many readers shared with me their backup strategies and experiences.  If you have a quality method or interesting story you'd like to share, feel free to post it in this thread.  One reader even asked that I share a script that has worked well for him.  I'm happy to oblige(thanks goes to Eric Nichols for the script).
