Hi All, Might I suggest unison if you have a spare hdd, with enough capacity. It's not a real backup untility, more a disk synch tool but I have always found it to be a goody; and you can keep it running in the background once the first synch has completed, sort of a "poor man's" active serve directory tool. And it's got a good, simle gui.

Check out rsnapshot at http://www.rsnapshot.org - a really useful tool based on rsync that handles local and remote backups. Tom Munro Glass
