While we're on the subject of backups, what are people using for
Linux backup software these days? I've traditionally recommended &
used AMANDA, but configuring/maintaining it can be rather a black 
art, particularly for Linux novices. So I'm considering switching
over to Bucula: http://www.bacula.org/
