Although I have no idea how "yahoo blueprints" came into the discussion
(this post is showing up in many, many newsgroups) -- yours is a good plan.

It illustrates another important point in file management which is to keep
the structure simple. Simple structure = regular backups. Complicated
structure = "oops, I haven't done a backup in 3 months."

While my plan is different (partition images and data backups), it
accomplishes the same things. It's easy to perform on a regular basis and
it's easy recovery if things go pear shaped. Neither plan is "better" -
they are both good tools that accommodate individual computing styles and
usage patterns.

Interesting topic - a favorite of mine. Thanks for letting me join the
discussion.
