Hmmm, I've done that on a couple of friends machines, until I convinced
them to but a cheap tape drive.  Now I just restore from tape, and the
funny thing is, since they started regular backups, no crashes.

The best bet is to take the stuff you keep around but don't use as
regularly and either ZIP or TAR it, there's your safest form of drive
compression, no fancy driver to crash.

P.S. don't do like I did once, zipped up the utility dir with move, and
forgot that unzip was in there. =|
