Maybe I'm just not getting it, but I have never had more than
a couple of hundred Meg in my home directory. I store all the
downloaded stuff in /stuff and all my code in /home/awerg/goo.
I mostly write web pages, so my files are not that big.

But, if you need more space in your Home directory...
I guess you could mount the following:
/home/yourname/mp3 640Mb
/home/yourname/jpeg 640Mb
/home/yourname/png 640Mb
/home/yourname/webcache 640Mb
/home/yourname/documents 640Mb
/home/yourname/email 640Mb
/home/yourname/proggies 640Mb
/home/yourname/configfiles 640Mb
/home/yourname/notes_to_self 640Mb
That way your could burn 9 CD's for a backup, and not have to buy a tape
backup.
