Me sir! Please! Me! Me!

The december Linux Journal had an article on Mondo Rescue.
Looks to be right up your street, in your front door,

If I remember, the article talks about backing up every night to CD-R
And you can create bootable rescue CD's


I'm quite interested in this - I guess its too soon for you to get it

and reporting how you got on at a GLLUG?
