Hmph. I stopped by weekend before last (14 Feb) and it looked like
they'd been cleaned out. Even the bookshelves were mostly empty.
Probably for the best though, given how far behind I am with other
stuff that needs doing.

Yep, that's what it's for (although the hard drive could have been
used with about a half-dozen different kinds of systems, not just the
Concept). I'm not sure whether the jacks imply the presence of
whatever you actually need to do the backup or whether there is
additional hardware or software required (this is one of those
things that I know I need to figure out some day when I get all
those manuals in front of me at once).
