That's what I want to do next. But I want to save a few files first & figured now was the time to figure out how I want to backup my data.

I'm missing something. Why not hard drive => usb1, then usb2, then usb3? Or this is based on using rsnapshot & keeping hourly/daily/etc. backups consistent on all the drives? > Use rsnapshot for the backups with hourly, daily, weekly ... and more > if needed, snapshots.
