cwRsync_16may2009_0496
though i'm not paranoid, i do have a fairly solid backup regime for all my photos, projects, and my meticulously ripped music collection. on a regular basis (no later than once every two weeks), i run a few batch scripts that first rsync important parts of my C drive (mainly my firefox and thunderbird profile folders, as well as my main windows user account folder) to the internal 1TB drive, and then rsync that whole drive to the 1TB external USB backup drive. (if i WAS paranoid i'd then take that USB drive to a remote location and rotate it with another USB drive...but i'm not quite there yet)
for rsyncing on windows i use the excellent cwRsync, but modified with UTF-8 cygwin dll to handle files/folders with non-latin characters.
