I do not have enough private data to fill a hard disk these days so it could be an option for him too.

Or slice the disks in two partitions of equal size and use them as a mirror.

I just use rsync to ensure that important directories under /home are backed up. I also keep tar files of the git repository (maintained by etckeeper) that tracks /etc. If a disk block fails, it's time to get a new disk and restore all the files to it.
