Any opinions on backup software?

Free peer to peer, supports every OS, rubs as a daemon, and the unlimited
off site is super cheap (if you want to use it). I've been using it for a
couple years and have no problems at all with it.

Hello everyone,

I've found myself looking at the issue of backups again. Currently I have
an network drive which my sister and I will manually copy files over to.
While this is better than nothing it's clearly not an ideal setup. I've
googled backup software and there appears to be a very large selection so I
thought I'd ask if anyone in PLUG has suggestions.

To put what I'm looking for in bullet points:
* Ideally supports backup up both Linux and Windows
* Will work with laptops that may not always be on or able to reach the
home network (I don't currently have a VPN set up for my home network --
but that's a project for another day)
* Has a straightforward means of copying the backups somewhere offsite
(currently thinking of taking an external drive over to our parent's place
whenever we visit, but also considering something like Amazon Glacier)
