hard drives are getting really inexpensive. I've seen 200-250 gig
drives advertised for US$100 or less. Buy one of those babies and
use it as a nightly backup. Or partition it with LVM the way you want
and use it, then either retire the existing one to the "spares"
category, or use IT as a nightly backup device.
it is not a problem actually. I bought this one (seagate 5 years
warranty) for $60 after rebate. And I know that such deals happen from
time to time so I'll probably buy another one soon.
But the main point is that this should be doable, otherwise it is a shame.
