How do you do off-site backup without the Internet?

Most people don't have any sort of back up, for us superusers do in one form or another.

"If I understand the question, you are willing to move the drive to work manually, but you don't want to have to remember which files changed, right?

The simple solution is something like Microsoft SyncToy 2.0. You can set this up to automatically synchronize your data with the external drive. Every time you take it home you can run the sync toy script and everything on the drive will look like the data on the home machine. Then you can bring it back to work for storage."

It sounds like you're basically asking about backup software that you can schedule, or is "always on". I'm not sure about software that would essentially mirror the drives/folders you want though - a quick google for "mirror software" got me this program which does "real time" backups.
