[ltp] Re: Backup Solutions?

This solution wouldn't help the original poster, but others might find
it useful.  

I use bu, a script that backs up to an NFS server.  I have an old '486
in my basement with a big honking disk.  I use bu to backup my laptop
and dual-boot home machine to the '486.  It's nice, because I can mount
the DOS partition and back that up as well.  It's a very inexpensive
solution to my problem.

I occasionally burn the good stuff on the '486 to CD.

The beta version is rumored to do the CD burn as well, though I haven't
tried it.
