Backing Up is Hard to Do?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the especially-if-you're-lazy dept.

Joe Barr writes "NewsForge is running a story this morning on a personal hardware/software backup solution for your Linux desktop (NewsForge is owned by Slashdot's parent OSTG). The solution doesn't require a SCSI controller, or tape drive, or the ability to grok a scripting language or archiving tool to work, either. It's based on point-and-click free software. Plus it includes a dead-parrot joke by Linus Torvalds."

    Imagine a Beowulf cluster of these...

    Profit.
