I could back them up to a separate drive, but I only have old hard disks (10gbs) and don't really trust them.
You could buy new ones. USB or something. They're not too expensive these days. Especially for 80GB.
I'd like to backup onto DVD but my /home is around 80gb
Is your concern that you'd need ~18 DVDs or that you don't know how best to split the files up? If it's the later, there's always dirsplit. It's in the genisoimage package. See $ dirsplit -h for details.
Otherwise, you may find that you have some success with rsync and a USB hard drive. But what do I know, my /home partition is only 6GB ;-)
Cheers, Richard
