[brlug-general] Backups for Linux..

[Tim Fournet]

We're loving BackupPC as well. I built a system using BackupPC and a 
server attached to a CoRAID EtherDrive filled with 15 750 gig SATA 
drives. This gives us a capacity of around 9 terabytes (after spares 
drives, etc) for backing up servers all across the country over VPN 
connections. Once you have your base setup, it's easy to add more backup 
clients to the system and see how they're all doing over the web interface
