I started using Crashplan a few weeks ago on my Linux workstation I like it a
lot. It is backing up to my external HD. I'm going to test the PC-to-PC
backups on my wife's computer and my MacBook Pro when I get some time.
Although it run just fine it did not integrate with the menu so I had to create
my own launcher - no big deal.
