These are the stories I love to read! Good job!!
Just one thing about the backup you mentioned. If you're doing backup *only* to that spare disk, consider burning it to a CD or DVD every now and then, or to put the spare harddisk into a USB case. I've seen some cases of hardware failure where the whole machine would be struck (lightning or wrong power), or the disk controller going funny, with all connected harddisks affected. So I always found it good to have at least some kind of external backup!
