I can seriously say, I haven't seen that one. Is that a spin-off from Progressive Farmer? I subscribed to that for a while in the 80's, then MoEarNews, lastly Backwoods Home. They talk a bit about politics in each issue, so I guess that section would be considered a separate subscription to "Crap Monthly".
Oh, and I did read several issues of Water Conditioning and Purification Magazine (dealing with Filtration and Separation, chemical treatement, etc.), and, IIFC, the International Journal of Sedimentation Research, and some industry journal on turbidity.
None of this has anything to do with backing up, unless you count what you REALLY want to do if you wind up treading on a broken cover over a septic tank.
I'm all for the USB drives (for the about and type of stuff I do) but I really like the NAS idea to put all bulk data in a common location that I can reach from just about anywhere... oh, and a raided file system based on compact flash (or even USB) drives. Hah... listen to me, sounding like I know something. A few UTube videos and I sound like a rocket scientist.
