I said I wouldn't publish the results of this survey,
because it was not my purpose to provide the spark to
start a war. Maybe it won't.

Nonetheless, here they are by popular demand. Make of
them what you will.

-------------------------------------------------------

Gnome + Sawfish
CD-RW

-------------------------------------------------------

KDE

CD-RW for home backups. Amanda, dump, RAID at work.

-------------------------------------------------------

Typicially X running WindowMaker. Most of the stuff I
do I do from ATerms (another XTerm).

Typicially the only thing I backup is code that I write
-- usually do it with CVS and tar up the CVS repository
and upload it to other hosts accross the 'net.

-------------------------------------------------------

GNOME + Sawfish
Use Gnome Terminal window 90% of time but like having
gnome around.

Enlightenment was my favorite but its too much trouble
replacing sawfish, Im lazy. :)

-------------------------------------------------------

KDE for window manager, although I hate it's built-in
applications and use gnome/ximian for that.

My machine is a raid 10 (two drives striped, mirrored
to another identicial set). I also tarball my /home
over a ssh tunnel to a remote machine for the data
backup.

-------------------------------------------------------

enlightenment (standalone)

SCSI and IDE RAID across multiple machines including a
co-location.

-------------------------------------------------------

Sawfish-gnome, englightenment or text consoles. ion if
you include the PDA I no longer have.

RAID isn't backup, it's data integrity. amanda or
roll-my-own script using tar.

-------------------------------------------------------

icewm
Backup? I don't need no stinkin' backup. CDR.

-------------------------------------------------------

I prefer KDE, as shipped w/ Redhat 7.2. No idea what
window manager it's running on - the default one.

For home I use disk-to-disk copies for backup. On
actual servers I really like Arcserve (the backup
server runs on NT & handles Netware, Linux and all
flavors of Windows servers).

-------------------------------------------------------

KDE

None - I know - but i need a backup media before I can
back up

-------------------------------------------------------

Blackbox
tar -> media (jaz, tape, all config files in CVS, etc)

-------------------------------------------------------

1. kde
2. cp -a /etc /mnt/elephant/{systemname}/etc
2b. Repeat 2 as necessary for desired directories (/home/certainusers)
Elephant being a Quantum SnapServer 4100
