Recursive backup is easy...

All one really needs to do is pop a second USB drive and back up the music that has been "added" since the last backup.

This is easy enough to do. I keep each album in a subfolder, and do not use subfolders for artists. This way I can "see" at a glance the difference between the backup drive and the main drive - all I need to do is sort each by date, and voila - any folders not backed up are intuitively obvious. Copy them over, and job is done.

You don't even need fancy "set-it-and-forget-it" backup software! :D

Cheers,
Presto
