Actually I'm pretty obsessive about backing up my data. I've been doing that to two external FW drives, and it's saved my a@# a few times!
Here's what I've worked out: I use the boot drive as the sandbox and the stock drive for my documents, applications, photos, movies and music (at 150 GB that should be sufficient for a while).
Each week, assuming everything is going well with the sandbox, I do a smart update of the sandbox back over to the stock drive (the startup volume). Then I do a smart update of the stock drive to my external FW drive (until, of course, it's 120 GB capacity is exceeded).
That way I've got the sandbox, the original startup volume, and a bootable copy of the startup volume on an external drive.
How does this sound?
