Thanks for the suggestions.  The book looks very interesting - I'm going
to order it.

Having said that (and not addressing you personally), checking around
further illustrates my point.  My non-rant was not an appeal for
software so much as pointing out the difficulty I faced trying to find a
solution.

It's all rather a lot to just back up some files, eh?

server to do backups... or pull... or a web server....

I dl'd a few scripts, which I suppose are going to be my intro to
scripting.  Yes, another thing I've never done in lin.  Imagine the
impending rant :)
