Important questions: How much do you think is a large amount? Tens of gigabytes? Tens of terabytes? How many machines are being backed up? Do you want to restore the whole machine or just have the data available? What is your maximum allowable period of unsaved data? (i.e., how often do you need to copy new data over to the backup?) What is your maximum allowable period between the primary machine failing and your new machine being available? And how much is this all worth to you? -dsr- -- http://tao.merseine.nu/~dsr/eula.html is hereby incorporated by reference. You can't defend freedom by getting rid of it.
