Home based backup solution

Scott Hanselman blogged about a Family Backup Strategy a while back and it got me to thinking; I need to do something at my house.  I have a fairly large (old) sandbox at home consisting of several roughly 600MHz servers and 3 client machines.  All told it is 9 machines.  Add to that mix the fact that my in-laws are moving in with us we will have 10 or more machines on the network at home.  So, following his example, it is time to do something a little more than what I have - which is basically nothing.

Using SynchBack to backup client machine mail files and My Documents and SQL backup files and a VSS directory to the Media server.  From there trying out Mozy Online Backup to backup the Media Server to the internet.  It's my turn to try this out and report back.

So far, one of my peers does not like it and a half dozen of them do.  I'll find out first hand!
