Re: [PLUG] How do you backup your home PC's / Laptops?

["Dave Hunt" <dhunt@automation-control.com>]

I recenty heard a review of Crashplan on the latest episode of the  
podcast "Linux for the Rest of Us".  It's a cross platform web based  
product for offsite backups between PCs.  I am planning to try it.   
Has anyone else ever used it/heard anything. (I use both Windows and  
Linux PCs so this looked like a good option.)
