Sorry about your files, I'll point out one mistake you did, that I see so
often.

A lot of people seem to backup to the same tape/disk/media every time they
do a backup.

I always ask them, what happens if in the middle of that backup, you system
dies. You are now left with a dead system and an incomplete backup, you just
overwrote you good backup killing it when the system died.

What happens if your data center burns down during the backup?
