Martin,
I have a Dropbox account - www.dropbox.com - with a free space of 2GB for
backup.
Virtual Box has a shared folder feature and I do the backup of ~/.hkclasses
and /var/lib/mysql knoda files in that folder.
So, I can access knoda everywhere always within a virtual slackware machine
running old knoda that I installed in desktop and laptop computers.
Regards
Gilcio Amaral
