[cvsnt] repos back up

[Bruce Hill]

It appears that some of the backup scripts recently posted
do backup to a different folder on the same drive.
If so, this provides very little protection.

At a minimum, your backup should go to a different physical
drive.   Even better is to backup to a different machine,
and ideally to a different location to provide protection
against fire, flood, etc.

Also, for those setting up CVS repositories.  If CVS seems
sluggish, it could be your virus protection software.  The
CVS web site has warnings about CVS operations failing with
McAfee or Norton virus software, but even with other virus
software, if you don't disable virus checking in your
repository it will slow down your CVS operations.
