I can dual-boot my laptop into linux and connect the disk that I mirror for 
offsite storage via usb - and it really wouldn't take that long to install a 
system from scratch if I had to.  But now that you mention it, it would be great 
to do it with one of those liveCD distros that let you install things 
permanently on a flash drive, especially if you are able to keep using newer 
versions to be more likely to work with current hardware without repeating a lot 
of work.
