Actually, I just found CrashPlan and it seems so damn sensible that I've adopted
it for my Ubuntu workstation. I'll probably set it up for my wife's and
children's computers next week. So far it works great on Ubuntu 8.10.
It can even set up another local computer on the LAN as a desination ("Friend").
We'll see if it works for teenagers :-D
