OT: box.net backup

[George Toft]

For Linux, I have a custom script that uses either NFS or SSH to rsync 
files to a remote server.  For Windows, I use Karen's Replicator 
(freeware - google for it), which works like rsync to a remote file 
server.  In my case, that remote server is a Linux box running ssh, nfs, 
and samba.

The good: Easy to use; easy to set up; easy to restore; free.

The bad: No point-in-time restores; no versioned backups.

Cheers.
